Day 10

We woke early thinking about the possibilities of fishing on the Snake River. We ate a full breakfast and headed out to meet our guide.

Rob arrived and we all loaded up in his car and headed out to our drop point on the Snake River. It was about a 15-minute drive and we were quickly headed down river.  It was a cool morning and we drifted for close to 15 minutes before landing on a rock bar and we started to fish.  It wasn’t long before we landed our first native cutthroat trout.  Throughout the day we landed about 20 cutthroats but Dawson won the day with a 20 in. two and a half pound monster!  It was truly amazing and fitting to see to him land the best trout of the day.  Our guide Rob said that it was the biggest trout he has landed this season.  The late winter (snowed in June) has caused the fish to be more than difficult to catch. Dawson caught the fish of a lifetime…at the age of 8! The views of the Tetons were breathtaking and we arrived back at our campground with an ever-greater appreciation of the West.

 

Back at the Virginian Lodge and RV Park, we went for a swim and then settled into the hot tub to warm up.  Cocktails served at 6 PM, we all sat down to a great dinner of Tacos and salad. 

 

I know I am probably getting redundant, but I wanted to state again just how amazing our country’s landscapes are…there is no better way to see the country and meet people than to do it in a RV!  It is awesome!!
