Without much time, we decided to fish close to town, down by the airport behind Gardiner's recycling depot. We had gone out on Saturday and the warm weather meant there some fish rising, but today the wind and cold weather meant there would be no hatches so it was nymphing day no doubt.
While I was still tying on my flies, Ryan was on the water and quickly caught his first trout of the season
As Ryan settled in, I headed downstream and started fishing. I came to a big rock that I had to get around, and as soon as I got around it, I got the fright of my life as a moose that had been sleeping behind the rock, jumped up. Luckily the moose was as scared as I was and we both ran in separate directions.
I don't know if he was still waking up or he figured we were the ones that should leave since he was there first, the moose didn't go far
and even stuck around to see Ryan catch another rainbow (he's the brown spot in the trees in the back left corner)
Leaving the moose behind, we fished a good way down the river. Finally, before we called it a night, I hooked into a nice rainbow
All and all, it turned out to be a nice couple hours on the river.
