As close to “catching” as Spey fishing gets

John Trent’s first opportunity to try his hand at swinging flies has been long in the making. First, some personal heath issues kept him from making his first trip,  only to have his second trip postponed by his sons own health issues. Being the patient guy that I am, I knew this trip would eventually come to fruition. In the end, I think it was definitely worth the wait for John.

River conditions are as good as you could order for early December. Steady flows around 2000cfs, 42 degree water, and happy steelhead. Conditions are going to change with “real” winter weather in the near future. Pictured is John with his best from today.
