Happy thanks giving everyone. It is now October 10, 2006 here and the long weekend is now over. What a fantastic weekend of fishing again here on the Bow River. I was finally able to take my good friend Isabelle out fishing for her first time this year. We have been talking about going fishing for quite some time now and our schedules finally worked out. We started out at 9:00 AM and the top end of the float was a little slow. I finally landed my first fish after about twenty five minutes of fishing.
Isabelle took a little while longer but her first fish was worth the wait, an 18 inch brown trout. Then shortly after her first fish she makes a perfect cast about one foot short of the shore, starts to reel the minnow spinner out from the shore than wham-o; a 25 inch Rainbow hammers the hook. She does an excellent job battling the fish and gets it to the boat with no problems. I should have used the net on this fish but I opted not to, and the big one got away. So no photographic evidence this time but that’s o.k. our fishing day was only half over.
