July 15
The nieces weren’t happy when I woke them at 5:30 am to head for sunrise on the Teton River near the house. Indeed we were all very tired from the Tetons trek but I thought a nice morning on the river would heal the muscles. They went but they wouldn’t get in the cold water. That meant I got to fish while they gave me the evil eye through the tall grass.
It was all good though as the sun warmed things up. I caught a heap of small brookies and one cutthroat. 16 year old Sammy seems to have given up fishing because she showed no interest. Montana on the other hand finally took my Winston and was swinging my fly through the rises and picking up brook trout on each cast. Here she is with her first brookie.
We made it a short day and got home by 11 am. Montana offered to make breakfast and I took her up on it. Pretty dang good I must say. I recon these kids may have to stay with me an extra week!
Tomorrow we begin the journey down the might Nunya River. The girls first ever float trip!
