The Mighty Thompson River!!...

It was a whirlwind trip to the Thompson. Andy, Kris and myself headed up for a couple of days of fishing a world famous river with BIG steelhead. We arrived on the river on Saturday morning and started at the task of trying to catch one of those big bad boys!!.. Needless to say by sunday all we had seen was some nice rainbow trout by the trout master himself Andy, had caught.. It was great to be on the river since neither of us had ever tried fishing for the legendary steelhead that lurk in it's pools and runs. The weather was cold and clear. Andy and Kris slept in a tent while I slept soundly in my car.. I ran into a few people that I knew, Shain from Squamish, and Kara from revelstoke, and also met some guys from the states. We went to the log cabin pub and had some great food.. We camped out at the grease hole campground.. The river is wild and It is hard to wade because of the slippery rocks. I now can say that I've fished the mighty Thompson River!!!.. And mighty it is.. If it opens up again sometime I will go and give it my all to catch a Thompson Steelhead..

Melanie's Last day..

The day had to come sometime.. The last day that Melanie could set foot on the river, and cast a fly in hopes of hooking up with a big chum.. and as luck would have it she did. It was the last time she would be in Squamish, and the Brew Pub. So we had to go and have beer and natchos.We made the day last as long as we could hangin' out in the pub, talking and laughing, and enjoying the last time together. Then it was off to the airport to see her off and say goodbye but not forever. It was a great year and a half and I will never forget it for as long as I live. I will always remember the fun and good times that we had...
