Summer Fun

July 24th is this weekend and here in Utah it is a day off Holiday for many. Well the Hubby is one of them, I simply requested Monday off as I get Fridays off anyway.
I worked Thursday morning till 8:45 a.m. made it home by 9 and hit the road by 9:45.

Headed north to Idaho, hoping that there would not be the masses of campers.. GOOD CHOICE!
There were two other campers this weekend at this Lake. (Due to the small size of this Lake I will not mention the name).
We went all the way to the end of the dirt road for our favorite camp site up the rare shade of Trees.


We got the camp all set up then pumped up the Renegades and set-up the rods.

Then ate some lunch. By now it was around 2 p.m. and the wind was kicking up a bit.

I went ahead and headed out. Deep nymphing in 27' of water with flies at 20' and 18'...It was awesome for a couple hours.



All fish were returned very quickly and safely....


Hubby joined me after his quick nap with "B" dog as his co-pilot



Fishing was great for several hours. We returned to camp and had dinner and got ready for bed and called it a nite.....

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 




Got up the next morning and hit the water bright and early.....not a good thing and went several hours with one or two fish.

Water was glass smooth which meant bugs. TONS! of Damsels and midges

Nothing a little face BUFF can't help ....


Later in the afternoon, wind kicked up a little. I watched little tornadoes on shore ....


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And had a guest roaming the camp sites  ....


Well, I got my Co-Pilot back and the fish were on ....

....and the key fly.... ANYTHING that looked like this ....


Here is some fish candy ....








All fish were returned quickly to the water and swam off immediately ....

.... And ONE..flew......
