Today Beckett (5) and I went with Scott Smith and fished from the dam at Jackson Lake to Pacific Creek. It was epic. A chilly wind and powerful sunshine created a decadent fishing atmosphere. Beckett caught three cutthroat on a dry fly, all of which just surprised Scott and me to no end. The cast grew better and better. The first cutty took on a skating fly and the other two we watched very visual trout “takes”, and when we told Beckett to set, he did urgently. He fought them well, and afterwards gave thumbs up and a smile. He is a patient and happy angler, loves the boat and went barefoot the whole day.
