Fly Fishing

 Okay, this picture isn't of fly fishing but I thought it was really cute. 

Lizzy was so tired on Friday (and so was Maggie) after a day with the boys home.

They are both totally out of it.

 Henry and I have been taking a fly fishing class for the last three weeks.  It was a great class.  It is what I needed to know the basics of fly fishing so I will not get so frustrated when I take the kids out.  I know all about the knots, what type of line is on the pole, how to use the rod and most importantly, Ron showed us where there are some good fishing places around the peninsula.  You know what we will be doing this summer.   

This past week our teacher (Ron Links) took so out to fish Port Williamson for Cutthroat.  (He says he also gets salmon fishing there also but we were trying for Cutthroat!!!!)

 We went when the tides were changing from high to low pretty quickly. 

We fished were there was a stream in the ocean.  It was cool to see the stream go the opposite way the other water was going.  It is where the fish are getting all their food.  Anyway, we hiked about 20 to 30 minutes along the coast to where the river came from the mountains.  I know there are fish there because the bald eagles were circling.   

 So, here is the class fishing.  Yes, we were probably the youngest by 20 years (That is me, Henry on the other hand add another 30 years.)

Practice, practice, practice. 

No we didn't get any fish (nor did anyone else) 

It was a great class.  There is fishing all year long here (and we know where some places are even now!!!!).  Some places you don't even need an license (like the National Park).  YEAH!!!!!
