My friend Skyler has been taking me randomly fly fishing at the reservoir throughout the summer, and I thought that was pretty fun. Little did I know he would take it to a whole new level.
We departed chesterfield Friday evening and took the pass and traveled north to the great Swan Valley(not to be mistaken for Swan Lake as I kept calling it). We met up with his incredibly chill younger brother who has been working at a very posh lodge there on the river since he was 15 or so. The season was over, so we had a very fancy, very expensive cigar smelling, very wooded and cozy lodge to ourselves! It was like being on like the bachelor or something for how deluxe it was.
The next day was filled with world class fishery and of course I am now an official trout slayer. We floated the river all day and Shade was an EXCELLENT guide because he somehow got me to catch like ten fish. I can totally see how old rich dudes can really get into this sport. It is zen like relaxation combined with the thrill of stalking and hunting game. Pretty amazing.
Grateful for good friends, grateful for meeting new amazing people, grateful for rivers and fish, and especially grateful for the prime rib and cheesecake we partook of at the "staff" party. Good stuff.
