Well our annual fishing trip -2010- is over. I am always so sad when it is. We always have such a great time and I am already counting the days until next year. The weather didn't cooperate much but after the heat of St. George it actually was a welcome relief. I just felt bad for the girls and kids cause they couldn't do as much while the guys and I were off fishing. It will take a few posts to get all my pics in - however - I didn't take as many this year as I have in the past. The area is just beautiful. Ron and I had some shopping at Costco in Boise so the boys and their families got to McCall a little before we did.
Our first morning started out going to the local fly shop to get any information about the rivers. It was about 9:00 a.m. and when we got to the shop it looked really dark inside. Bryan commented that he couldn't believe that the fly shops in Idaho don't open until after 10:00 a.m. and how dumb that is because most fisherman like to get going earlier than that. Anyway, Ron got out of the car and walked up to the door and it opened so he said "Guess they are just trying to have some mood lighting". So we all got out and walked into the shop. I was checking out some really cute pants and Bryan,Clint and Ron were looking at some of the rods they had when we realized that there was no one in the store. Bryan checked the side door and it was locked. We decided that they had just forgotten to lock the front door when they left the night before. Well, we left quickly and went across the street to the hardware store and asked the clerk if she would call someone. So off we went to get our fishing license. Bryan had gone up to McCall the week before to check out some spots that we might want to fish.We decided to fish the South Fork of the Salmon River the first morning.It was quite a drive to get there. Then we walked along the road a little over a mile.
We saw some pretty fresh bear poo and of course had to check it out. Bryan needs to change careers. He was very interested in that bear poo. In fact he got right down - up close and personal - to check out what that bear had been eating. I felt quite safe after he said it was mostly seeds and berries - nothing human. Yay!!!

I should have stuck my watch in the poo, that would have made for an interesting picture.
ReplyDeleteDon't you guys know they only way to really see how fresh bear crap is is to taste it, you also have the advantage of knowing what the bear has been eating - this is often a good way to find huckleberries - works every time - by the way if it is still warm I would look around carefully.
