Provo River Fishing Trip

I went fishing on Saturday with my son Merril. It was note worthy because Merril caught his first fish on a fly rod using a nymph. He has caught lots of fish but every time he has tried fishing with nymph he has not been successful. He caught three fish on the trip. That is if you count the one he swatted like a bear up on to the shore with his hands. It was really a funny thing. He had been fishing for a while in this one hole and turned around there was this big fish just sitting in the shallows right behind him. He thought he would try just scooping it up and throwing it onto the shore. The fish did not even move. It was a really old fish and was just about to die. The others he caught were younger and lively. One of them he snagged in the fin rather than hooking it in the mouth. I don't know what my problem was but I just didn't seem to have it. I guess that is just how it goes. Better luck next time.
