The river all to ourselves

What a difference from the last couple days. Most of the campers pulled out of the campground before noon today and headed for their homes, the last day of the Memorial Day holiday weekend. There were a couple other fishermen on the river when we went down at noon, but they soon moved on. A few boats drifted past and didn't stop. It took us a little while to figure out the fish were taking olive green nymphs, but with Rick and I changing our flies a few times we zeroed in on the right color, size, shape combination. I brought most of my fish to the shore and released them and Rick was having more of a challenge in that department. He was hooking more fish than me, but the fish are ferocious fighters right now, running up-river, running right at us, and shaking their heads to get rid of the hook.
