[Funeral Of Hearts]

Well I managed to get out on the Columbia River again out here in Castlegar. It was a pretty nice day and I needed to get away from my school work, marking, prep, etc.
I got down there about 5:00 ish and found a nice pool to fish. There was a bit of a hatch going on, lots of small flies and a few of these guys.



I worked the pool from top to tail for a while and then moved on. I tried a few more locations and then decided it was time to leave. Instead of taking the nice trail back to my car I thought I would walk the rocky shore and just check nothing was rising down stream. I kept my 5wt rigged up and started walking, enjoying the beautiful evening. I made it about a half kilometer down stream and heard a fish rise. I stopped and watched the water ahead and saw a few more risers. I thought that a couple more casts can't hurt. Three casts later.. fish on.  After a great fight, a screaming reel, and some acrobatics I landed another bright rainbow.

I love this river.

ya the fish in the river are all pretty fat (well all the ones i've landed anyway).
Its nice, the property im renting is on the bank of the columbia river, so i don't even have to drive to it...
