With the local CC finishing up last month, a gap in our collective work schedules and a similar gap in the world cup playoffs, Jr. & I finally managed to drag the Hyde over the mountains for some quality time. Spent two days floating, fishing, camping and making some memories. There were lots of laughter, kid grins and conversations of floating other rivers when the hoppers are out in force. There was even a desire to learn how to tie some of those flies that catch fish. Sounds like a good plan to me....

I see a new "Mingo" in the making.

Glad you guys had a good time. I've been dragging my son with me on a few trips. Last time he out fishing me 5 to 1. He's a born natural.

Very cool

Funny, I had the same thought. Should probably invite Mingo to fill an open seat to coach Jr. on the proper facial contortions.

Of course, it would also be fun to host Chucks S and KK for a float, just to listen to the discussion between willing trout. Collectively, we could probably solve many of the world's problems by the end of the day, with enough good beer....
