Fly Fishing

When the boys were staying with us last week, we took the opportunity to take a little trip up to Heber and go fishing. Jens wanted to work on a fishing merit badge for scouts. And I happen to have a brother that LOVES to fly fish. So, we hooked up with Aaron one night after work and took off to the river. We went to a little place on the Provo River just off of River Road. It was amazingly beautiful and peaceful! It really made me realize how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful place. It was so nice to get out and enjoy nature and not be bothered by electronics and the noise of the world. Aaron was great with the boys. He showed them how to use a screen to catch bugs so you can tell what the fish are eating. They had a great time with that...what boy doesn't like getting his hands dirty playing with a bunch of bugs. They talked a little bit about sportsmanship on the river. Then he gave Jens a lesson on how to cast and fly fish. They caught a couple of small fish. The boys were both pretty excited that they were able to reel in the fish after Aaron had hooked it. We'll have to go back again so Aaron can teach Jens about equipment and other things to finish up the merit badge requirements. Luckily for Jens, Aaron works in a fly fishing shop and has all kinds of stuff to show him. Thanks Uncle Aaron for a fun night of fishing!!!
