Henrys Fork 06-07-2012

Dusty was in town, so this year Sam thought he would introduce him to Henrys Fork by Ora bridge. We arrived the night before and camped in Ashton.

Doubles. 

Dusty with a nice one. 

Sam seemed to always to far away to get a picture of his fish. 

When the hatch started the birds moved in to pick the bugs off the water.

Some moved in to close, and Sam hooked into one.

It was almost like this bird had been hooked before, and was pretty patient while we removed the hook. 

I waded down to the bridge and got this shot of Sam and Dusty.

The next morning we waded up the outlet to Henrys Lake. This was a lot of fun and we each caught a ton of fish, mostly Cutts and Cutbows, but we did manage a few Brookies, and some Suckers. 

 

 

Guadalupe River 04-06-2012

While vacationing with Mandy, Dusty, and their two girls at New Braunfels Texas just east of San Antonio, Dusty and I decided to hired a guide for a float fishing trip down the Guadalupe river, the southern most trout fishery in the United States.

The guide let us when he had to navigate the shallow portions.

The morning fishing was really slow.

The upper section of the river was lined with several homes.

I was the first to hook up. This was the first carp I have ever caught on a fly rod. It was quite the battle to get it landed.

Dusty endded up catching the most trout.

Dusty also caught the biggest trout of the day.

This is where we stopped for lunch.

The lower section of the river had fewer homes. I really liked the big trees with the exposed roots.

The reason the water looks off color is because of the lime stone bedrock.

Some of the wildlife along the river.

Lots of turtles.

At the end of the float we bounded the shore with small streamers and caught a bunch of sunfish.

This was a fun trip and I would do it again.
