Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

WOW! I learned as much as I taught today! Greg & Renee are "natural students"...

We fished hard, were rewarded (as hard work has a tendency to produce) with loads of beautiful fish...and that wasn't even the highlight of the day! Our conversations, and laughter were a better exclamation point on our day than even the beautiful fish.

Thanks guys! I can't wait to come out to the ranch and get a little first hand education on sustainable farming and living closer to the land!

George, Nick & a little beginners luck!

Fished with a couple eager and strong guys today! George and Nick worked their tales off and were rewarded with loads of beautiful fish!

If smiles alone speak to the quality of a day...take a look at these!

Nice work gentlemen! Look forward to next time!!!

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!!!)
