The Adventure Train Is Rolling...

All Aboard!!!
 
Curiosity is a great thing... It seems that RD's "Adventure In Every Riffle" Tour continues into this week big time. Why people want to come out here and share water and fish with me, is anyone's guess.  I just hope that they know that they will probably get what they pay for with this free tour.  Ha!  There are two fly fishing bloggers coming in this week and we start tomorrow on "Fish Tuesday" (what a coincidence)!!   It should be a great week!  First up, we have Marc, the Rhythm Rider from Colorado, coming in for a business trip and heading out to fish tomorrow afternoon after he dashes through his sales presentation or whatever it is that he does!  Haha.



Marc's blog...Casa De Rhythm...is a must see.  And the guy has a thing for drums... Check it out.  We are going to throw a few PMD's! We have it narrowed down to two places for a late hatch with rising fish... It should be money during that time of day.  A report will follow for sure!  I'm feeling a little more confident as I had a pretty nice day on the dry flies last weekend too...so we will give it all we got!  Looks like Marc likes to fish a few dries too... = )


Then, we have this trout hunter (although I understand he isn't all that serious!)  escaping crossing the boundries of Pennsylvania and coming in for a "Fish Friday" with the River Damsel.  Yeah, I know...I'm not allowed two "Fish" weekdays.  Oh well.  Got lucky this week as it is a holiday on the 24th in Utah...You know...we have weird holidays out here.  "Pioneer Day" gives me an extra 8 hours of holiday to burn this week.  So, you know... <"(((((><<   Lucky for me, Mike "Troutrageous" Agneta is coming to town for the Tenkara Summit this weekend.  I must admit...that is why I have taken a few lessons...didn't want to look totally green on the subject!  Ha. I have a feeling though, that we will be using "RD's" 9 ft graphite fly rod a bit in Wyoming... Oh, did I tell you that I have found the perfect place for T! to re-juvenate and put away his "apathy" that he has been ranting about??... That will be fixed after this weekend.

Yes...the River "T!"  not "X, Y or Z"
I think that he will like this...




Is T! taking the same tour that I have been on???  Ha!


So, I took a little scouting trip to Wyoming last weekend.  And I'm telling you what... you just can't ask for a more unusual beautiful setting for fly fishing.  And there is plenty of humorous scenic value too...believe me!  Yes, welcome to the "Pay" station... I paid the first time for parking and private land use...but, I think we can actually do better down yonder... = )  Do you like the Redneck table?  Seriously, it was nice of a landowner to share this stretch of large rainbows...even at a price.

Hey, only the most luxurious restroom accomodations for my roadies... ha! 

Yes, by Saturday, I should be ready to wind down and enjoy some clinics, speakers and a bit of fishing with the folks over at the Tenkara Summit.   And see if Mr.Troutrageous gets some of that Green Jello for lunch...heehee.   = )   

Ok... I really did find a beautiful place in Wyoming... You do want to be there, don't you???

    As for your first question, doesn't everyone love a good train wreck?

    Not a bad way to spend a few weekdays. Hope you all have some fun (I have no doubt that you will).

    No but seriously, for me this is a lot of what blogging is about...lonely people meeting other lonely people. No, no, no...just kidding. You'll have a great time and so will they.

      Howard - I'm happy to report that I have not fished with one lonely blogger yet! Ha. It's been all extroverts and fun loving people that like to share their enthusiasm of fly fishing....that's what makes this journey of mine so much fun! And yes...I will even include you in that group...lol.

    Hopefully, no falling needed, no Box of BandAids, no First Aid Kits, no rock throwing off a cliff, no moose sneaking up behind you, etc. etc. Just plain ol' fun with a couple of good guys and a River Damsel.

      Mel -Funny that you would bring that up! I took Marc to the Provo River yesterday and all I caught was a hook in the finger. And it was a bleeder... Of course Ms. Prepared had her bandages in the car...ugh.

      Rod - I love those switchbacks too! That is why I don't mind going back a second time! It's just fun to fish different types of water...

    Great times and great fishing I see. I too would love to see myself in that meandering river. Wow. Always enjoy your adventures so much, and can't wait to become a full-fledged partner-in-crime! (ps I think I finally have my inability to comment taken care of).
