Morning on the lower Sacramento

9/20.... Bill and Miriam enjoyed their first ever fly fishing adventure. They picked up their new reels and other gear that morning and we put together their rods and reels and went over all the knots and talked some strategy. Since it was their first time fly fishing a crash course in casting was in order. They took to it well and we headed out.

Casting and managing the line always takes some skill and when you throw in a few strikes to boot it was a hectic morning. Miriam missed a few takes as she enjoyed the view and the natural beauty. Bill finally got on the board with feisty rainbow down by Cypress St. Those darn barbless hook cost us a few fish. But a good time was had by all!
