FRC Fun!

Dad & I decided to start of the week right--go fishing!  The drive to Ellensburg was fine, but gave way to elation when we saw the windmills idled and motionless--No Wind!!  A rare treat indeed in windy Ellensburg!

We were happy to evaluate the enhancement of last week and were very pleased.  As Dorothy from Kansas (or was it Oz) might be inclined to say, "Rainbows, and tigers, and browns--oh my!"
A nice fat rainbow--20"
















Dad had most success on a black beadheaded bugger on a floating line.

Dad with a very fat Tiger trout.  Looks like he's been enjoying the bluegill!
I had rainbows on some green buggers with sparkle and the brown was on a flashback prince nymph on an intermediate line.  Risers were present intermittently throughout the time we were there--10:30-1:30.
















We managed to have twenty or twenty-one to net.  Dad had the two tiger trout and we each got browns.  An excellent start to the week.  I'll have to come back Thursday with Natalie and Brad to see if fishing on a Thursday is as much fun as fishing on a Monday.

Nice day!

It must be getting serious if you are taking Natalie's boy fishing...Make sure to post - one of the final checkpoints is to see if he can take some trash-talking from your brothers!
