Outdoor Adventures- Boulder Mountain- the Angler's Dream

      There is a rhythm to fly fishing- it is captivating- it is an art.


Matthew 4:19 - And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
 My brother in law Rick shared the music of the river with us years ago.  So now though not as frequently as we like, we return to the rod and the river.  It is a music which soothes and welcomes us.


 Rigby and Seleck took one last fly fishing trip to the Boulder Mountains last week.  As Seleck will soon be "a fisher of men,"  this adventure was their last hurrah.

 Fly fishing on the Boulder Mountains is one of our favorite family retreats.  Rigby and Seleck tied their own flies, fished early, fished late, and enjoyed being together.  It made me happy to think of them there...father and son.
 The Boulder Mountains are an Angler's Paradise with plenty of lakes and streams with both unique and trophy size fish.

 For this adventure they sought out the expertise of Jim Mcphee,  a local angler.  They fished the Row lakes, Blue Lake, Purple Lake, Pine Creek Reservoir and a handful of others.
 The "catch and release" tactic of the fly fishermen demonstrates skill and sportsmanship.
 They reeled in cutthroats, Brooks and Grayling, but most of all they reeled in memories.
 The Boulder Mountains are a treasure covered with pristine lakes and streams.  The landscape is unbelievable-- a welcome break from the day to day life.


 I will always be grateful that Rigby has shared his love with the outdoors with our children.  It has brought untold joy and peace to our lives.  
Fly fishing is definitely an adventure worth taking.
                    Good Luck Elder Rigby with your future fishing!
