And now to the reason for going to Winthrop -- the Methow River. Instead of posting shots from each day (because we did hit the river EVERY DAY), we decided to make one post with all of them together!
Here's a shot of Jared catching a Westslope Cutthroat! It was a good looking fish and as you can see, Indy was quite interested. He caught a Rainbow as well, but of course, that was on a day we didn't have a camera. Doesn't that just figure!
The river had lots of nice bends in it with pockets of deep water. You could just tell that if you could get the fly in front of the fish, it would bite!
Another shot of Jared fishing...this part of the river reminded Kristina of the Doll Hole on the Salmon River.
This is a little further down from the "Doll Hole". The water was clear and you could see that it was deep. Perfect fishing...
Indy enjoyed the river as well (you can tell from that wet fur). But of course, she was a good dog and sunned herself on the bank to dry off while Mommy and Daddy fished. What a good little dog?!
She had to go check the river out here...at least Jared was done with this hole!
Being a good dog again, she is watching her father fly fish!
More shots of even further down river...we didn't venture much past here because the property for the house we rented ended. But, as you can see, we had quite a STRETCH of river!
Here's a nice shot of Kristina showing her fishing skills! Man, can she cast! She can place that fly and bubble just about anywhere!
We will definitely be back again to visit!
