I had an awesome spring break!
Nanaimo was my home for about 10 years. My family still lives there and I flew back for my week long spring break.
In preparation for my trip, I learned how to tie flies and tied away. Started with the good old woolly bugger and ended up with over a hundred in a few weeks.
Within an hour of arriving, I had caught a small cutthroat on my yellow doc spratley.
Later that night I got another coastal cutthroat on an elk hair caddis.
And another...
Over the next few days I caught many more fish, including this 16"er.
In the middle of it all, I ordered the biggest cheeseburger that I have seen from Mrs Riches. One pound of beef...
The last fish of the trip:
All of these fish were caught on a small unnamed pond in Cinnabar Valley
In the end I spent lots of time with family and friends, caught some fish, and luckiest of all, it didn't rain at all for a whole week!
