The Phat Phisherman's Phairy Tales
AHHH....One of my favorite Winter Spots...The Frying Pan River in the Colorado Rockies. Kids are skiing and I am doing what I love most.....Life as it should be.
Replete with some visiting wildlife friends. I
know this picture looks like we visited a petting zoo but I assure you it is in
the wild...the unfortunate fence in the background was a fence on someone's
property keeping them OUT. 
Of course I was stubborn as usual. As the local
fly shop was touting the absolute need to use a size 24-26 midge I was
determined to throw a slab of beef at the local critters - a Teeny egg sucking
leach size 6. The result
,
several 14-18 inch browns and one mammoth 28" Rainbow. I was alone and the
Rainbow took me down stream and my camera was left upstream and I am left with a
fisherman's tale a wonderful mental image and you are left with the quandary of
believing the tale or not.....such is life.
Yes your are correct.....Foul hooked above
the eye.
No Holiday account would be compleat without pictures of
the family...This is my daughters dog Wilbur, fresh from sunny Califorina,
fishing for who knows what.....
Till
next time....Tight Lines....The
