Crowley Lake - CA

Alexis Laughlin from Newport Beach with her first fish on a fly rod this past Friday.

Had the pleasure of guiding Richard since Monday. Richard absolutely tore this place up! 20+ fish days Monday, Wednesday and Thursday!

Not to be outdone, Kyle Bamberger with his well deserved Brown, also in McGee this past Friday.

After this photo, I coached Richard into the proper way to hold your fish. I told him "let me see the fish not the back of your hands"

Managed the slam on Wednesday, but I didn't get pics of the brown... (lazy guide I know)

First thing this morning he hooked into this missile! This thing came out of the water several feet. Richard told me jokingly "I'm done, We can go now" after that (5 minutes into the trip)

Glad we stuck around for an extra 5 minutes!

Yesterday was a little chilly early. You can see the smoke cloud rolling in yesterday. (you can see my coaching paid off!)
