I’m not really a very dedicated fisherman. I used to go a lot when I was younger but in last years I never really had much focus on it and to honest living in San Francisco Philadelphia and London over the past 25 years hadn’t made it easier. Now that I’m living in NC I’m starting to get back into it and I’m especially interested in honing my fly fishing skills.  On last few vacations I’ve gone but it’s such a science so I hired a day long guide Matt and off we went 

The water here is crystal clear so you can actually choose the fish your after After about an hour I seemed to have mastered the cast but I struggled with setting the hook. Had several strikes in the am but they seemed to spit out my hook with ease . Things slowed down in the afternoon and even Matt couldn’t get one. However it didn’t really matter as it was beautiful and tranquil the day was great despite coming home empty handed. Someone asked me if the guide had caught a fish would I have taken a picture like I had caught it …..of course ! 

Last day in QT. I really loved it here. Time to move on Franz Josef here I come
