Had a great weekend with my wife and son and some friends to one of my favorite vacation spots in Arizona. We took off for a long weekend to X-Diamond Ranch near Greer Arizona to fly fish their private water section of the Little Colorado and stay at one of their cozy cabins.
I was able to fish for two days from sun up to sun down and although the river was running low there were fish to catch in almost every pool throughout the day. I went on the trip dreaming of landing a large Brown however while I saw some large ones and even had a few rise to my fly, such as one of the times when I snuck up through some tall reads on a large shallow pool, I tossed out my fly just up current of the pool and as it drifted into the mouth of the pool I saw a beautiful dark red brown cruise over from 4 feet away to hit my fly, alth0ugh as is very commen problem of mine just as he went to grab the fly I got so excited at seeing this georgous fish I set the hook to early and pulled the fly out of the water just as he was hitting it. So while I was sad not to land my dream brown I had a blast catching rainbow after rainbow a few in the 18" range.
Look closely and you can see that my amazingly talented wife snapped this shot just as this Rainbow jumped out of the water.
