Automatic retrieve reels... aka Larry & Jim!

Got another lesson in fly fishing history...and ate a little crow!

Fished with Larry & Jim and when Jim pulled out his two automatic reels, I cringed! Visions of trout dancing away from us as he lost fish after fish flooded my imagination. And the look in his eye told me that I was not going to gain any traction trying to get him to leave them in the car!

It's not often I hope for only small fish, but today that was my secret hope when we were approaching the office. I suppose the fish Gods knew I needed a lesson so Jim started the day off with a TANK of a cutty! Larry filled in several blanks...Jim put about a dozen exclamation points behind Larrys hook ups...It was on! And less than a few of the fish that were hooked on those automatic reels were small...and NONE WERE LOST!

Bam!!!

Can't wait to fish together again fellas!

Fished with one of the funnest and funniest guys I've ever had the pleasure of fishing with! I got a lesson in A LOT of angling history!!! I think I may learn to love carp! (I will still never call them fresh water bonefish...)

Hooked a couple tanks on the Dream Stream and they danced like baby Tarpon (c'mon...if you're gonna call a carp a bonefish...)

Stephen, I truly cannot wait to fish together again!!! (P.S. Please send me all the pics you took!!!)

I love fishing with Families. All of the connections seem deeper. This trip, while not exceptionally productive in terms of fish count, only served to reinforce the importance of family.

I look forward to future trips and better catching...I don't think we could have had better fishing!

Bucher family!

First fish on a fly rod!!!

I'm not gonna say that the first fish we hooked was among the biggest I'd ever seen in the canyon...cuz that'd just be mean! (even if it's true). None the less, Loads of fish to hand, Father and Son, beautiful day in a beautiful canyon! I cannot think of anything else that would make for better day (well...except maybe landing that first fish!)

Thanks Guys!
