Blue River



 Fly fishing all morning  (see pics).  Moderate number of rises, gorgeous  river but much of it is too fast to wade

Unfortunately,  a little too much adventure.   Tried to ford section that turned out to be deeper and stronger than I thought.   Got swept off my feet and was completely plunged into the water.  List my flybox but a fisherman downstream grabbed it and returned it me.  Very honest as it was worth over $200.00. Kept my rod but not my pride. Time to call it a day and count my blessings.
