Trout Fishing on the Deschutes

We're back!!! We rented the Deschutes River House again this year for the Salmon Fly hatch. This year we spent a full week, caught so many fish and had a blast. No tick bites, no rattlesnake encounters, no falls in the river, no falls off the balcony, no Indians except the one who made the girls necklaces at Kah-Nee-Tah, no sunburns...completely safe despite my pre-vacation freak out. Kevin did fish with our beloved digital camera submerged in the river for 3 hours and it is now shrouded in permanent darkness. Don't cry - we did manage to save the fish pictures we had taken so far and here they are!!
Plus, Grandpa Egan is starring in his own Outdoorsman TV show hitting the airwaves this August, so I'll bet if PJ keeps reelin' in huge lunkin' redsides on her BARBIE ROD I'll bet she'll be a TV star sooner than even she thinks!! Yes, she caught the fish in that picture on her Barbie Rod!! She did not kiss it or even hold it, I had to hold it for her for the photo but I'm sure Grandpa will change that!
I love that picture of Paige laughing at Kevin's casting.
