This last Saturday Trent and Todd came up to visit for our yearly bro's no ho's fishing trip. This sacred fishing trip has become a long tradition for the brother-in-laws on the Carter side of the family, where we bro's go fishing and of course leave the... our beautiful wives home.
This year Trent out fished everyone with his 6 hooked rapala that is now dubbed "old faithful".
Todd had a first class guided tour in the front of the drift boat and ended up catching half a dozen fish. Some of the flies that were productive on our trip where: the mole fly, different dry midge patterns, red wd-40, and a rainbow zonker. The majority of our fish where caught up top on dry flies. We never did see a real good may fly hatch but fish were sipping midges sporadically throughout the day.
I was the drift boat captain the whole trip and ran the rapids like a pro. Trent offered to row a few times to let me fish, but flash backs of being high centered on a rock the last trip Trent rowed kept popping into my head. Saturday was fairly windy which made it difficult to row and even harder to cast a fly line, but we all made it down alive and all caught some nice trout.

Thanks for taking us out on your new drift boat. I must admit that it was nice to finally not have to be the one rowing all the time and knowing that if you were the capitan that we were not going to get ship wrecked in the rock garden like last year while others were rowing. Always a GOOD TIME!
