A nice weekend

A day of fishin' and a day in town.








Sunrise was beautiful on Saturday.


We fished and had a great day on the river. Rick and I hit the river around 10 AM and although there were a number of others with the same idea, we had a great time. And caught lots of fish. The other 6 fishermen (from Tremonton, Utah) were friendly and we became part of their group - almost. We all moved around the immediate river area so we all had a chance to rotate and fish the different parts of the water. We netted each other's fish and shared flies. A good time for sure.
The weather was on our side.











Sunday we went to town to reprovision = get groceries. The motorhome's freezer was practically empty, as planned, and we bought enough food to last 2 or 3 weeks. Town is just 20 miles away, but we think we'll last another 2 weeks at least. We had a delicious Mexican lunch at the White School Bus, also known as Fiesta Mexicana. It is literally a big white school bus with the back half of it converted into a kitchen and the front half with benches looking out the windows. There's also seating outside and it was very busy. The food is authentic and yummy. We stopped in at Frontier Anglers fly shop, but we missed Tim Tollett who was out fishing the Big Hole River. The guys in the shop were helpful and showed us the flies they recommend. Rick got some more dubbing and some hooks. Seems he can always find something we need for fly tying. Buying materials and tying our own flies is definitely less expensive than buying flies in a shop. And Rick ties great flies. We barbequed hamburgers Sunday evening and watched a movie on the DVR. A good end to a nice weekend.
