We left in the snow, hit the rain in Vancouver, and flew all night to get into CHCH in the rain. A couple hours of running around to pick up some goods with our friend Serge, who picked us up at the airport, and we were off and running. After visiting and catching up with Sharon, we had some lunch. She kicked us out at 5 and we hit a small stream. We had a good go at some fish in the pouring rain. We each missed a fish but landed several each. At 9pm AJ landed a great trout, the largest of the day - about 6 1/4 to 6 1/2 pounds. In real time, for us at that point, the fish was caught at about 1am. Being in the pouring rain and pretty much dark, we took no photos. It was an amazing fish that had been popping every 2 -3 seconds along a willow in a flat run. A great fish. We were off the river and home by 10, about 2am our time. Supper was ready at 11:30 - 3:30 am our time, and I literally fell asleep in my plate. A great start to the fishing! Yes, tired. But, here's a couple shots from evening #1.
