Rocky Ford, Spring 1999

This was my fishing trip over Spring Leave.  Dad and I took Jake, a friend from the academy over to Rocky Ford to show him what fly fishing was all about.   We all had a great time.

Here is my Dad, the man responsible for my fly fishing success (and success as a whole).

Here he is again, with a really nice Kamloops Rainbow.  I think this was caught on about a size 16 or 18 shiny green chironamid.

This is Jake, with about a 20" Trout.  He caught it on size 14 brassy.

Finally!  She was also taken on a brassy.  You know, for a hook with copper wire wrapped around it, the brassy sure works well!  It is by far my favorite nymphing fly.
