Fishing with Dad

Yesterday Amy and Jim took Grandpa Dee

fishing on Snake River below Jackson Lake Dam.

Amy guarded the boat whilst Grandpa and I

shuttled the truck to the get out spot. 

 Instead of floating clear to Pacific Creek,

we decided to stop along the way and only

go as far as the old cattleman's bridge.

We used an anchor in a few spots and stopped

in a few others along the way.
Look close for Mount Moran in the haze.

The smoke from the wildfires blocked our view

of the mountains early in the day, but as the day

went on it cleared and was a beautiful day.

 Grandpa rode in front and ran the anchor.

If you look close, you can see Mount Moran

in the notch between the trees.

We caught a few fish. Amy had one real nice one,

but I forgot to get a picture before Dad had them

all cleaned and put away.
