The old friend that I spent time with today was the Metolius River.
Of course I also have other, “human” friends, and I’m glad that I had the chance to spend some time with them as well. I was very excited that my son was able and willing to accompany me on my journey. The point of a December trip to this glorious area is to get a start at trying to decipher the thoughts and patterns of the much sought after Redband Trout, and the bugs that they feed on. The fishing wasn’t so hot, but that did not deter any of us from the experience. It was my son’s first time on the river with a fly rod in hand, and he really wants to go back. I am very much looking forward to the next trip with him.
Before we left, we spent a few minutes viewing the monstrous fish in the hatchery pond.
Thanks to Heather for letting us play around with her waterproof camera and make a couple of cool videos of the fish feeding. Yea, they were eating hatchery pellets, but it was still a great father and son moment.

It was a pretty fun day. The One Fish Family Studios, really did a great job with the movie making.
Fun stuff. How did you change the color/ clarity on the 2nd half of the video?
Tim,
The color change was most likely due to a cloud formation, shaded location, or lack of knowledge regarding the camera I was using.
The difference in clarity was due to moving the camera to a different, undisturbed location. Those big hatchery fish can really stir up the crud in a very short time.

Hey Guys/Gals,
I am jealous. I don't think that I am going to get another trip in before Dawn has our next boy.
His name is going to be Ethan Joel Golobay by the way.
Anyways, thanks for your posts Gary and Heather. I look forward to fishing with you again some day in the not so distant future!
