Camp Jackson - Day 3

Day 3 of our camp and we had a special guest join us - Dad!  We floated the Bow river in our drift boat, aka the big banana.   Apparently hot sunny days are not the best for fishing, but we managed to catch a few beautiful rainbow trout, one brown and had a bunch of 'hits.'  It was a great day on the river and catching some fish was just a bonus.

Prior to the flood, this was the parking lot of the boat launch


Interesting to see how the flood affected the river banks

Liam rowed for 90% of the 6 hour trip!  Amazing for anyone, let alone a 7 year old.

First catch of the day


Good to see tons of tiny minnows


Second catch of the day

Crazy water where the Highwood River met the Bow.  The water became pretty dirty after this point.

We think this was a movie set

Tired kids!
