PHWFF second installment
During my time at Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing in Colorado, I not only had the opportunity to spend time with the soldiers, but to talk with their mentors and see some of the big fish the guys caught. At the last dinner on Saturday evening, I presented an inscribed copy of Fishing the Film to each soldier. When I called Jorden Cable’s name, someone piped up and told the group that he would be there in a while. After we had eaten, he finally showed up—and the photo he showed us told why. He had landed a true monster—between 23-25 pounds! No, not 23-25 inches, 23-25 pounds! And he did it on a small nymph and 4X. Everyone was agape at the size of the thing. It was a triploid hybrid that grows to these huge sizes because it is sterile and never spends any energy in reproduction. What a great way for everyone to finish an absolutely great weekend at PHWFF in Colorado.
During the day I would help the soldiers with their fishing–Here I’m giving Kenny Crowley some tips on reading the water.
Kenny took my tips to heart and immediately caught a very nice rainbow.
This massive rainbow kept Jorden Cable from dinner the last evening. Do you think Jorden was upset?
