Daddy's Girl

She's been fishing with me many times but now she fishes.  I think she got over a dozen on this trip - dry fly!  We backpacked into the Uinta Mts. to this little canyon where the Duchesne River begins.  Each day we were there we caught dozens and dozens of Brookies and Cutthroats.  We didn't even have to spend all day doing it.

The trip was made with the young women from church and a few adult youth leaders.  Besides the fishing we had such a fantastic time together - getting to know eachother, growing our trust in eachother and faith in Jesus.  All the girls that went with us caught at least one fish - a few of them caught several.  With the exeption of my girl this was a new experience for them - backpacking, fishing, they each cleaned one fish too, cooking over the fire, no showers, no toilets, etc.  They were so much fun to be with and I think they fell in love with the wilderness experience, and were excited to have conquered something new that beforehand seemed so difficult.
