First Fish

I woke up Saturday morning with the ich to get out on the water and try my skillz fly fishing. Well, I think that was what that ich was. Anyways, I headed up to Clear Creek in Golden, CO, home of the Coors factory. Much to my surprise, I caught my first trout using a fly rod. It was a beatiful little rainbow trout. I was hooping and hollering all by myself in the creek. As "they" say out here in CO regarding fly fishing, "the tug is the drug" (save your jokes). It may be true, because now I can't wait to get back out there and keep fishing.

Here are a few pics from my fishing spot.

 I was waist deep in that little hole when I caught my first rainbow trout.

 Oh, this picture here is the reason that I don't have a picture of the fish. By the time I scrambled to the bank to grab my phone and take a picture, the fish had slipped away. If I hadn't set up my camera to take this gooberish self photo, I would've been able to snap a photo of the rainbow before he jumped out of my hand. But I had no plans of catching a fish so I thought the only proof of me being out there would be this photo of myself. Yes, I am ashamed............

 And one more thing.............I ended my weekend out on the golf course. Pretty sure I'm going to whoop up on Matt and Anthony next time we play.
