Jeff's Fun Fishing Trip








Last weekend, Jeff got to go on a guided fishing trip for a day. He went with Colorcraft and had a great time- He said the last time he actually went fishing, he was 5 years old and hated it! He was hoping this trip would be more exciting than what he remembered fishing to be- They left Thursday and stayed in Riggins, ID and spent Friday on a speed boat going up and down the Salmon River fishing for Steelhead. Jeff caught one, but it was native, so they were only able to take it out of the water long enough for a quick picture. (They weren't even supposed to take it out of the water, so Jeff feels pretty lucky to have gotten a picture with it) While taking the picture, the fish squirmed and slimed Jeff pretty good! I guess a slimy coat is the price he had to pay for breaking the fish rules!

Jeff also thought it was really cool that they got to see so many big horn sheep on the trip- the sheep were just on the sides of the river hanging out-

Looks like cold fun! Too bad you couldn't keep that big fish!

Looks like you had a good time! At least your weather looks better than the time I went steelheading...I couldn't feel my toes it was so cold!
