Hamby Fishing
Yesterday was another expedition in fly fishing - this time fishing the Pecos River exclusively. The season has really begun… many locations that are closed for the winter season, are now open. Our day revolved around trails that bite, beautiful mountain vistas, excellent fast water fishing and more beautiful sites that one tries to absorb for their times in the city.
On our return we were rewarded with a multitude of Elk and Deer sightings.... WOW they are magnificent creatures.
Nathan had several bites and one catch - I tried to improve my skill in the art of fly fishing. Fresh air and beautiful scenery….. what a pleasure!

Congratulations to Marcey!
Congratulations Marcey - This week we were treated to a most enjoyable evening with friends and good food at Gabriel's Restaurant in Cuyamungue. This place is best known for their guacamole made right at table side - and it really is some of the best I've had. All the best to you in this new chapter!

Presbyterian Bowls for Big Brothers/Big Sisters
Bryan's Bowling for Big Brothers/Big Sisters was a huge success - with many of his co-workers from Presbyterian Health Services joining in the fun. They managed to earn a very nice sum for the organization, while managing to have lots of fun and hone their bowling skills. Thanks to all of you whom generously supported Bryan and the Pinheads - we appreciate it.

Adventures In Fly Fishing
Our adventures in Fly Fishing - Nathan and I braved the imposing dark grey clouds and chilly weather for my first lesson in Fly Fishing. Our destination was the beautiful Pecos River and finally the Mora River.
I learned very quickly the day before our trip just how friendly and willing to teach fisherman are. While I was shopping for my gear - I was quickly given advice by most anyone in the vicinity - information regarding the type of rod necessary for the type of conditions, the type of flies used for the particular season and some sharing their secrets of where and when is best to find those biting trout. Nathan's buddies and I guess now mine - over at Reel Life in the San Busco Center - are always willing to lend advice and guidance - with their friendly smiles and attitude - thanks Ed and Aaron.
Upon our arrival in Pecos - Nathan had the daunting task of teaching me some of his skill in knot tying - a most important part of fly fishing. Three quarters of an hour later - after carefully listening and watching through the tying process, I was shivering and Nathan's fingers were numb from the cold. The previous day I was advised to bring several changes of clothing, as the weather can change from minute to minute. I was thankful for that friendly advice as I quickly added clothing for warmth.
We fished the Pecos River for a spell, I trying to hone my skills by practice & watching Nathan cast - utilizing what is called wet fly fishing - as the speed and depth of the spring run off requires. Thereafter it was off to Nathan's secret gem - I have sworn not to reveal the GPS coordinates of this most beautiful location - it was I will say a treacherous trail that proved to be fatal for one highly adapted Elk that fell to its demise. It was just at the most dangerous point in the trail too - where I found myself slipping down and grasping for treading on this very beautiful vertical rock wall. I quickly realized the importance of waders in fly fishing - it appears that it is to the fisherman's benefit to be in the river where one is casting, but also for traversing around impassable points in the trail - you can just walk right around through the river and that is exactly what Nathan did.
I am looking forward to our next journey and experiences in Fly Fishing. Thanks for you patience and guidance Nathan!
