Lance's long summer vacation DAY 1; 17 km bike and 5 km walk

7:26 Making preparation.
There were three cars already. And saw two men with motor cycles were going to pass the gate just I parked my car. Later I found that they were fly fishermen.

9:18 On the way to the destination above the second bridge.
Water level showed '0.25m' on the web though, there looked like no place to fish downstream because of too much water. So kept climbing toward the upper section.

9:54 Had to park here because there was unbelievable huge collapse in front of the second bridge. So let's walk till finding two earlier fishermen.

10:35 After checked their fishing place, decided the entry point.

11:05 First fish.

So hot!!

11:12 the 2nd one.

11:26 Good one as the 3rd.


11:48 4th, good pace.

Found the big one in the pool. He bit my fly once and I tried to set a hook. But he wasn't hooked. And continued to rise something small. Tried many fly patterns, and finally could set a hook by the small black bodied spinner type(imitating TRICO in US, I bought it in Boise over 10 years ago)! Then I lost his tension soon because of line break...

12:53 5th.

13:02 6th, still keep good pace.

13:14 7th.

13:23 8th.


13:29 9th, and 13:37 10th. 


13:46 11th.

13:55 12th.

14:12 Good one as 13th was 

32cm superb fish.

5x tippet and size 12 big ant parachute.

15:09 stopped fishing after adding 6 more cookie cutter sized one. Total 19 fish in 4.5 hours.

On the way to my bike, found the deer horn first time ever!! Kept it as a good luck charm.

At local Chinese restaurant.

First stay night in the current my car.

Biking and flyfishing is definitely necessary for my life.
