My parents recently re-located to Boise from Eastern
Idaho, and I had just completed my annual training for the National Guard, so
it was the perfect time for a break!
I had taken my Dad to the Owyhee once before in the early
spring, and we had a dreadful day in the pouring rain, so the intent
was vindication.
The day started with a bang as my dad hooked and landed his
first Owyhee river brown – a real dandy! Then we worked hard for several
hours to find fish during an uncommonly slow morning. Persistence,
relocation, and a few cold beers later the PMD hatch was in full swing, and our
rods were bent! What a good way to spend a day.
