Decided to go out and get some time out of the city one last time before it got too cold. We packed up and left late on Thursday night just in time to set up camp and get to bed around midnight, after a terrible night of sleep for the 3 of us we were eager to get up early. Emmy had a blast setting up despite being up late and face-planting out of her backpack seat. She had her little ewok suit that kept her warm all weekend and she had a blast enjoying the fresh air and sitting around the fire.

The fishing this time around was different and really good for me, the water was low so it was a little more difficult to find good holes and flow but once you did it paid off. The fish here are usually quite small and I tend to catch a lot of small Brook Trout and a couple Browns. This time around I caught about 10 fish, all Rainbow Trout except 2 smaller Brown Trout. The Rainbows were pretty nice size for the size of the river and they were a lot of fun to pull in. I got a few of the catches on my DJI Action II as well and that was cool. It did rain a lot and was a little cold lots of the trip so I didnt get as much time in the water as I would have liked but it was a good little trip with some nice fish. Even cooked a couple up to eat.

It is always a great time getting out into the mountains and especially when you can get your line wet. Caught some beautiful fish, had some good food and had some good time with family around the fire.
