A day on the river with Eric

Throughout the past few years we have often splurged and hired a fishing guide. They are expensive - around $500 for the day. So our general plan is not to hire them too often. Otherwise we would go broke and live in Campgrounds for the entire summer!

Anyway, we met up with Eric Paulson in Livingston MT and set off with him for a day on the Yellowstone River.

Heading out -- the drift boat with Alicia very happy to be heading out.

Alicia getting personal instruction from Eric ...
Eric's saying "See the fish?"

"Do you see them?"

SUCCESS -- a bent rod  -- lesson complete!

A happy angler!  16" rainbow

Then another  -- brown this time

Later, Kevin lands the big one of the day .. a brown trout (about 18")
