FLY FISHING!!!!

The young men and young women in our ward had an auction for a fund raiser and we bid on and won a fly fishing trip for four ,which included the fly's, poles, lessons, guided hike and food. We went to Eagle Meadows at an elevation of 6800 ft. Brian and Shirley Mollard were the experts. Here are Ally and Ashley setting up camp.
Jared just finished his lesson on how to cast and is awaiting the hike of 1.5 miles through the beautiful forest and granite rock mountains to the streams.(It was a hard hike, We had to stop a few times)
Ashley just finished catching a fish and is catching a rest at this time. If you know anything about fly fishing you need to separate on the stream or creek and you fish upstram so I wasn't close to get a picture of the trout. They were small because of the drought the water level was low.

We were camped at a horse camp where several people had trailers and brought horses for a beautiful ride through the mountains. Ally wanted to pet the horse in the camp ground next to us so Jared and Ally went to see Stormy.. On the hike Ally kept ahead of all of us and she would wonder off the path to do some rock climbing. It was so beautiful up in the mountains and great weather...75 degrees.
We all had a great time and want to go up to the mountains again. We enjoyed spending time together the most.
