Big Sky, MT
Welcome to the fly fishing world.
Mattie Sue, Malyn, and Ryan this picture is for you. See the huge stuffed dog under the pool table? He is bigger then all three of you together. :)
First day, cool temps, slight breeze, and Welcoming ourselves to MT.
Day One: Lessons on the manicured lawn next to the place we rented our fishing gear. We really are listening in spite of the fact, I'm taking a picture, Claudia is listening but just not looking, Dennis is wondering if he should get his camera like me,Chesley is thinking, Cindy is listening, I've been fishing for nearly all my life surely I can do this, Fred, in the orange shirt, already knows how.
All of us practicing on the lawn.
Then Fred took the challenge of trying one of the hardest positions. He did it. Well on land. So if you fall in the river Fred, just float on your back and keep casting...
Walk to the river from our house.
The river behind our house. This is Fred after the lessons and Chesley is down stream and around the corner.
More of the trip tomorrow.
The weather is beautiful and much warmer then we thought but still cool. We are able to relax and read and just look at the beautiful views.
