Just got back from a weekend in Jackson, WY for a buddies wedding. The ranch where he was married happens to have 2 1/2 miles of private, blue-ribbon trout stream running through it. At the rehearsal dinner, the groom and I were discussing what we were going to do the next morning since his wedding wasn't until 5 when the ranch manager who is like a father to the bride chimed in and said come out to the ranch in the morning and fish. We jumped at the opportunity and Sunday morning we (the groom, his father, BIL and myself) jumped in my truck and headed out. Doug, the manager met us at the ranch and handed us rods and flies and told us to have at it. We spent the next 4 hours dragging cutthroats out and having a ball. The BIL and myself had never flyfished and we each caught our fair share and had a ball. The groom and his father, both experienced flyfisherman put on a clinic for us with the groom catching the big fish of the day plus a beautiful bride a little later.
Fellas, I can honestly say this weekend was one of the best I have had in a long time. I grew a real appreciation for an art that I hope to pursue and I got to watch one of my best friends marry the love of his life. God was truly smiling down on us this weekend.
I have a few pictures I will try to get up later.
