There is nothing like inviting your dad and brother to drive six hours to fish the Weber in spring. Everyone who fishes it this time of year knows how good it really can be. What they weren't expecting was that I was really inviting them to brave the elements and test their true love for fishing. I didn't plan it that way, but as it often turns out, mother nature decided to dump on us and soak us for all we were worth. As the pictures show, none of us wussed out and we all caught some nice fish.
Luckily Matt and I didn't have to travel too far to experience the wonderful March whether. As you can tell, Matt had a blast!
There were a few brief moments of sunshine when the heavens shone down on us and the blue-winged olives came out to say hello. Turns out the trout did too, and we caught some nice fish on dries.
John broke the top eight inches off his Sage about five minutes into the day. I had him a spare rod, but superstitions got the best of him and he thought his luck was with his rod; I thought he was crazy. Turns out he was right, and the goofball landed a dozen or more fish on his broken rod throughout the day. Like with everything he does, he knows how to make due with what he's got.

Dude, nice. I love the pics with the snow coming down, but more importantly, the nice fish. I'm glad you guys caught some good fish there. When are we going there?
