Love the family trips!  Today, Captain Don and I had the pleasure of hosting Chris and his son Jimmy along with Jeff and his son Hunter for some fly fishing for Chinook salmon. All the guys bent the long rods on fish, with some coming to net.  Jimmie boated his first King on the fly; as you can see, not only was he one happy camper, he was not about to let that hen go!  Dad Chris bested a beast of a male that pulled the Boga well past 20 lb. and his 20″ brown trout, which took an STS Bugger as the point fly, enhanced what proved a most pleasurable and productive day.  New to Chris was casting the switch rod with an indicator, which I taught him later in the day.  Thrilled were we both when a male sidled over to pick up his egg fly, right there for all to see.

Thanks, guys, for a wonderful day!  Hope we can do it again.
