Parts of the snake river are so incredibly low that all that's left are puddles. This particular puddle was home to 30 or so VERY large trout! So my dad and Curt netted them and dumped them in the main river. What big hearts. Actually they just couldn't bear to see such large fish die before they had a chance to hook them on their fly rods :) "Save them for another fishing trip", "Put them in the river so they can reproduce MORE large trout!" they say.
Plus it was super fun to catch them in nets!
Matthew really enjoyed it too.
They put them in buckets to carry them to the river.
Matthew had a ton of fun throwing rocks into the water.
Safe and happy in the fishies' new home back in the river!
It was a really fun outing! And it was really quite warm, just an annoying breeze.A saturday well spent!
