first outing of the year

today we had 8 men fly fishing up in rmnp on an amazingly clear and perfect day (given the weather we've had nearly every day so far in june). the brookies were going after bwo's and small brown caddis on the surface as well as various nymphs. a great time was had by all in the morning in the lake.

(you can't tell from the picture, but that's keith with one of his lunkers hanging down at his side. what? you can't see it either?)

after some brats on warner's grill for lunch, some of us set off in search of moving water. some hit boulder brook above the lake and others looked for some fishable water on a bulging glacier creek.

here's chris wading in VERY fast water netting a brown he got from the far side of the seam in glacier creek. i can learn something from chris' great catch-n-release that he shows here.

it was a great afternoon of fishing, story telling and getting to know each other a little better. i can't wait for our next trip, to be announced soon.
