Quickdraw recently purchased a canoe. The USS Poopship (Arleigh Burke Class) once again set sail down the Canyon, for a day of sun, fun and trout. We floated down to the Alpha Hole where we started fishing. Not much was going on there, but we did see a beaver swim by. Sadly, QD wasn't able to tie on a mouse fast enough to try and catch it.
We made our way down, fishing along the way. We saw numerous other floaters, including a 30 person kayak horde.
Times are tough these days, as the summer has brought forth the underwater plant life to full head. We rid our nymphs of vegetation almost as often as we cast. The only trout I was able to land were in the deeper runs, mostly devoid of the undergrowth.
QD skillfully navigated us through the perils of the Canyon, and for the second straight day, I put in an honest day's work on the stream. Hopefully this will be one of many trips on the Poopship.
