Day Two (6/30/2016):
The brisk air lifted off the water as we began day two of fly fishing camp. The anglers quickly assembled their fly rods and reels and quickly asked for a fly so they could begin fishing. After the initial getting used to the cooler thermal temperatures of the water, the fisherman were soaking up the beauty of wildlife around them. All of this, while they patiently waited for a potential trout to engulf the fly imitations that we used throughout the morning.
With the low water levels and increasing vegetation growth, the importance is placed on the stealthy wading and drag-free presentation in each cast. Keeping those two elements in mind, the boys had a challenging task in fooling a trout throughout the morning session.
Watching the relatively new anglers cast, one could tell that they were improving as the frequency of knots and tangles were decreasing in comparison to Tuesday morning. They were focused in casting their flies to where they thought offered the best chance hooking into a fish. All in all, they did an outstanding job throughout the entire morning, whether it was swimming, looking at wildlife or carrying a crayfish. By the looks of the smile in the photo at the bottom, I'd say the boys had a great time learning a little bit of what fly fishing has to offer!
Enjoy!
