Fishing with Tim

With Tim only in town for a few days, we decided to hit the water despite the cool temperature (40 degrees), overcast, and hail. Our first trip was to Fall River.  The second trip to the Warm River.

To get on the Fall, we borrowed a two person raft from Tim's friend and put in at Kirkham bridge.  While the bridge was still in sight, we netted our first of many fish.  A few salmon flies showed up, so stimulators and other imitations were the fly of the day. Tim and I traded the oars for the fly rod every 5 or so fish.  We took out at Cement, or Concrete, Bridge.  It was about a 7 hour float.

On the second day, we picked up Sean Doyle and headed to a secret spot on the Warm River.  These fish hadn't seen much pressure this year either, so big bushy attractors were the fly of the day.  I spent the day fishing caddis, my usual on this stretch.  Again, all three of us netted good fish.  The laughs, jokes, and conversation on the bank relieved all three of us of any baggage brought from the East Coast.  We finished the day at Sean's after dinner.
