I went Fishing!!

I've been waiting and waiting to go fishing for quite some time. The weather this year has been odd to say the least. Snow is melted at the lower elevations in the mountains for the most part. Snow up high is still deep. I watch the SnoTel and StreamFlow sites regularly. From those I can see that the water is fishable still and whatnot.

Shari and David are heading to NY for the summer so we had a hot dog roast up Uinta Canyon today. Amy, Lily and I went up early so I could get some fishing in. We went to the trail head and headed to the ponds to the west. I caught two rainbows out of that pond. I wanted to wander and search more ponds but Amy and Lily didn't. So we eventually ended up back at the car and shortly after that we met up with the rest of the clan to eat.

I've never liked rainbows, they always look plain and boring to me. But a fish is a fish. I really was sad that I didn't catch a brookie. That would have been good eating for lunch. Oh well, there's always next week!
