Before kids, Todd and I went fly fishing quite a bit. He bought a drift boat (the big banana) last year so he floats the Bow as much as he can. SInce Emily and Liam are away this week, Todd convinced me to float with him and his buddy, Ray. I must admit that I wasn't overly excited as we had a tornado watch today and I'm a fairweather fisherperson. I'm glad he was persistent as it was fun. I forgot how much I enjoy being out on the water. Besides hooking three fish myself (landing only one), we watched a deer cross the river, saw a muskrat, beaver and many mother ducks with her ducklings. And it only rained a bit. Todd also caught a nice cutbow. I tried to get a picture, but couldn't figure out his iphone in time. Sorry!

Float Down the Bow
