Tom Bie left for home after fishing last night. Boots and I had a beer at camp then called it a day. It as a long one and good one with a few nice fish. This morning we got up early again and the two of us fished one of the slower sections of the lower Snake. The target – more carp on the fly.
It was hot. Yesterday we had clouds and a storm but today was a scorcher. Our day got cut short too because Boots got a call he needed to be home. I was good with it. That’s because Boots couldn’t fish much because of an elbow issue and also, I nailed this handsome mirror carp early in the day. We headed for home around noon.
The lower Snake has become an annual for Boots and I along with a new guest each year. We missed the big rainbows of the past years but the carp and a few smallies more than made up for it. It’s been a long run of fishing and speaking so far this summer. Now I’m going to cherish a week at home and catch up on a heap of things. I’ll be back on the water next Tuesday.
