Finally ran my wife up to fish the upper Blue Ribbon at ROLF on Sunday. We got a nice break from the kids, and Jennie got to land her first wild 'bow. We started off at Jack's Riffle in the evening so I had her throw a bead-head Crackleback and she got hit on her first cast. The Crackleback did ok, but not the bite I was hoping for so I had her nymph a RFSN and she did pretty good....seriously proud of her. Also, not long before we were getting ready to head to the cabin she hooked a fish that almost ran into her backing. She fought it really, really well to find out that is was a freakin' SUCKER. I was thinking "Nice brown, Nice Brown" during the whole fight....I hadn't had a fisherman hook a sucker like that since my first ever guide trip. She had fun fighting it though.

Sporadically a little bit of everything came off. We had caddis in our cabin along with a BWO.
