It’s a beautiful evening
for a maiden fly fishing adventure.
Bob & Steve took Mary Grace out on the Madison.
Steve Hundley made a box of ’em for her!
Thank you, Fran McNiell!!
Next year Mary Grace will be a resident
and it won’t cost as much, we hope!
It was $120 for non-residents this year.
That was quite an increase!
but it will be cooler on the river.
(They put in at 8 Mile Fishing access)
Then I drove the pick up with trailer home.
I hope you have a great time!!
Stay tuned, friends.
I’ll give you a report tomorrow to let you know how they did.
I hope they are able to catch a few big ones.
They will call when they are ready
for me to get them at the “take out” in Ennis.

Do YOU embrace fly fishing??

Awesome pictures!!
Thanks, Charlotte. Great scenes – fun to capture!
A day to remember. I don’t fish 🙂
Hah! I don’t either, {{{Derrick}}} – but I love the scenery around the river. It’s
“catch and release” here on the Madison, so they do it for the sport of it. And the fishing was mainly fly casting and rowing- Bob said he only caught one small one… and unfortunately Mary Grace didn’t catch one at all. 🙁
🙂
I used to go fishing as a teen. Can’t remember catching anything, but I enjoyed the experience.
That was Mary Grace’s experience yesterday, too. A lot of practice casting, but no catches! She said she actually prefers wade fishing – – – that way she can create space between herself and other people’s ears, eyes, etc. Balancing on the boat – especially when the anchor wasn’t holding – was much more difficult than standing in the river!
Beautiful photos and what an experience! fly-fishing! 🐠🐡🐟 Jan I loved your post. I’ve fished before but never flyfishing, which looks sooooo relaxing! 😊
Mary Grace says it is more relaxing to wade fish… but she is learning to do the fly casting – and the river really is a serene place when it’s not too crowded with with other boats.
Incredible Jan. I agree with you about the serenity the river offers. Thanks so much for sharing such a peaceful experience. 🐟🙏🏼😊
You’re welcome, Kym. Thanks for vicariously joining the fun!! <3
And you know it Jan!!! 🤗💖😊
Bob says, “The tug is the drug.” I like that! Looks like a great day to be on the river. Beautiful post and photos!
