February was a month of staying close by and fishing home water. As I have had friends come into town on a few occasions the past few weeks, the normal choice was to hit the "infamous" Provo River. Between record snowstorms and low temps, we found a few decent days. Oh, wait. one day was a little windy,,,
35 mph winds, but the fish did not care. And I just added a
few weights on the line. =)
My friend, Holly, from up north of about an hour and a half, came down for the day and we put on a "clinic"! So much fun.
Then, Jose and Whitney, from Nevada, came to town. It was time for them to escape from all of the high water and Pyramid Lake opening up late. They were in need of some good fishing! It was good to see Cheris and Giezi too. There was plenty of room for us to fish as the winds kept people home. Their loss!
We all had a great time on the water. Many fish to be had. And the fun part of sharing your home water with others is that they usually return the favor,.. So, my "Sunday Tippet" is this...
Be a trusted friend and a good fishing buddy. Share your rivers and lakes with others. Learn from your friends, as they also learn from you. Share a good meal. That's a must! Haha. And always have gratitude in your heart for the times that you can spend with your friends. Near and far... Have a great rest of the month, y'all!
Emily, what a wonderful trip and some great looking Browns. Great to have friends like yours that go the extra mile to fish with you in return for all your traveling and fishing. Oh, to be young and have another chance............
ReplyDeleteMel ~ Thank you so much. It's a traveling bond we have for sure! Hope to see you next month! =)
DeleteWOW -what a gorgeous buttery brown!!! Sounds like a really fun period - despite the wintery conditions.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time for sure! The browns were out, but the rainbows were in hiding due to the pre-spawn.
DeleteWords of wisdom from the River Damsel. Good friends are hard to find.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mark... I'm so wise! Haha. Friends that share the same interests are always fun to have around, but when you can add that extra tad of concern for your welfare... it's a bonus! I know that these people would do anything for me, as I would for them.
DeleteThere's no place like home...even if you love to travel, eh? I love taking people to Clear Creek.
ReplyDeleteHard to beat a 25 min drive... =)

ReplyDeleteEnjoying good friends, landing quality trout and last good meals, what else good be better?? Hats off to you guys for landing fish in that kind of wind---thanks for sharing
So true, Bill. It's often the friendship that I enjoy more than the fishing part of it. Laughing is good for the soul.
