No fish for us

We woke up to a very nice day, ate breakfast, and got to fishing, but without success. It was particularly frustrating to see big fish cruise by, expressing no interest in our offerings. We watched a guy in a cataraft pull in fish after fish. We finally knocked off, without even a nibble for our trouble.

We headed over to the North Platte River, where we have fished before, but the river was very high. We made a few casts, but could not see a reasonable way to fish the river, except perhaps by casting right next to the bank that we were on.

After that, we went into town and did a little shopping. Marianne put together some very nice wraps from the “Fort Garland Cookbook”, which we picked up on our trip a few weeks ago.

After dinner, we rigged up to go down to 8 feet, where we were told the fish were. We had some difficulties, and then a front blew in, so we came in, having only gotten in a little fishing.

We closed the evening with a few games of Skipbo.

We hope to have better luck fishing tomorrow.
