Another Day in Paradise PHOTO GALLERY
I just do not know how it can get any better than spending a day trout fishing on the Bow River.I hooked up with my friends from Los Angeles today for some trout fishing. The sun was out and the fish came alive to the spinners and plugs we threw out at them. It would have been nice to see Dave with one of those 26 inch Browns the Bow has become famous for worldwide. However, Josh and John seemed to know how to get the job done today. Josh landed himself a very decent Brown Trout and John was getting action all day.
We did our very best to bring up the large trout today but sometimes this can be a challenge. Todd had the honors of first fish today and was kind enough to hand his rod to Josh to bring this scraper to shore. Josh did his thing and here is the end result. I decided to tie up a big Panther Martin spinner and give that a go. It was met with a hungry Rainbow that could not pass it up. I hammered another Brown out with the Panther and put it back into its spot in my tackle box.
Dave and the boys had to leave to catch their flight back home to L.A. I must say that it was a real pleasure to meet Dave and the boys and look forward to fishing with Dave in the summer time here on the Bow. Words cannot describe what the fishing is like here in the summer.
Todd and I had some lunch and moved to a different area of the river. I managed to hook into a nice Brownand had some great bites as well. All in all, it was nice to be outside and fish the river again today. Even if you don’t catch any fish, a day outside beside the river is a day in paradise for me!
