Gone Fishing

Bryan is spending four days fishing with his dad, grandpa, and uncles at Lee's Ferry. Lee's Ferry is an historic pioneer river crossing 14 miles below the Glen Canyon Dam (Lake Powell). From the launch ramp, they fish the 14 mile stretch of river up to the base of the dam. The river is shallow, most places less than 15 feet deep, and very cold, 56 degrees year around. The predominant fish in the river is rainbow trout and almost everybody does catch and release. Restrictions on the river do not allow a fish to be kept once it is longer than 12", thus making most fish not keepers. Today the weather was beautiful and clear. The fishing was great and hopefully the rest of the week will follow suit.
