Southfork trip #2

For Labor Day we went to fish the South Fork. We got up and got things packed and headed out. It was a pretty chilly day. but for the first 4 hours of the float it was pretty nice. we stopped for lunch on a little beach and the wind kicked up a bit and brought on a little chill. so more layers went on. i didnt do much fishing this trip i just kicked back and relaxed reading or chatting with Colbys mom while the boys fished. there was not a lot of people foating either which was great but everyone we talked to was having some major bad luck. the fish were just not biting. Colby caught two and his dad caught 3. usually they catch about 20-30 fish, but as i as said before the fish just were not hungry. as we were coming close to our dock we stopped at one last place to see if we could get lucky. while we were sitting there this baby moose appeared out of no where, it was so dang cute. we waited until we could wait no more for the mama to come out, but she never came. we got off of the river at about 7:00 and we were all frozen. we jumped in the truck and turned on the heat. but we couldnt leave town without stopping to get an ice cream square cone. yum... i love that place. they serve square ice cream. its so dang good. we stopped for some dinner in alpine and then headed home. it was such a nice relaxing day. and even though the fishing was crap we all still had a fun time.

these are just some of the houses on the sides of the river. they are all so beautiful and there are so many.
