Snake River view from skiff - Jackson Hole Wyoming
My daughter wanted to go fly-fishing. We hired a guide - Ryan - through High Country Flies in Jackson and spent a delightful day on the Snake River. Ryan gave her some lessons and we were off down the river. Wouldn't you know - on her first cast she caught a beauty - an 18" Snake River fine-speckled cutthroat. I highly recommend the folks at High Country Flies. www.flyfishingjacksonhole.com/
This is on the South Fork south of Hoback.
One of the classic anecdotes of "catch-and-release" trout fishing: "Do you ever eat these?" "Heavens no, that would be like eating your tennis partner!"
I love the Brad Paisley song "I'm gonna miss her" :)

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon
Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite
Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite
