After a couple months of basically being chained to my desk, I finally arrived at the light at the end of the tunnel. That just so happened to coincide with a visiting professor from the states not-so-subtly dropping hints that he really wanted some fishing info. I figured I’d do him one better and take him on a quick trip to see if we could find some fish.
We saw some nice water on the first day:
And before long, got him into a fish (and showed incredible self-restraint by not throwing his bright red hat in the garbage the moment he put it on):
The day proved to be a good one, with a steady stream of browns and bows responding to both dries and nymphs:
I managed to find a suitable option for the obligatory IA Food Shot along the way:
And after spending all day hopping boulder-to-boulder, an actual trail was a very welcomed change of pace for the last km or two back to the car:
Day two picked up right where day one left off:
It was smaller water, but it still produced a day full of respectable fish that were willing to rise ever so slowly to our offerings of big, fluffy dries:
I snapped a couple of the obligatory grip and grins throughout the trip for him to take home:
And before either of us were ready for it to end, it was time to head back to the office.

OH MY MY! Tim your fish to landscape photo ratio is improving greatly, LOL. Seriously awesome trip report.
