My trip to Idaho turned out to be more a visit then fishing.
However, Friday night, I went CRAWDAD fishing......WOHOO! what a drag.
Saturday we went to the river to where I saw several LARGE carp rizing to food. I am almost drooling!
Got my choice of flies tied on and made my first cast, it which a nice bounce and indicator floating back upstream thing happened. Not quite ready for that first one, but now know what to expect.
Got ready to make my next cast, when my nephew from across the river said "WE GOTTA GO>>>>NOW!"
I looked over at him and he turned around. I saw the emergency from 50 yards away, so I grabbed my gear and ran over to him.
I might be asking for trouble at this point when I say, THIS IS WHY I FLY FISH! I don't leave bait bottles or styro worm containers lying around, and I DON'T USE TREBBLE HOOKS!
It appears, someone dumped a box of these WAY oversized hooks on the ground and although my nephew picked several up off the ground, he missed this one stuck to the rock he sat on.

That was it for my fishing this weekend.
