March 15 – 17, 2015
When we left the Phoenix area we knew we wanted to go
through Parker Arizona again with one primary goal, to try and catch Ol’ Moe in
the Colorado River.
Some of you may remember the story from two years ago when
we spent some time along the river in late March. We had gone fishing one
evening and my fishing rod bent over, line reeling out at a rapid pace setting
off the drag, and eventually flying through the air landing in the river.
Needless to say we didn’t get the fish or the pole back.
So why not stop on our travels home and try and find
him?? We knew that we wouldn’t but we
did enjoy a couple of days on the river. Izzy certainly doesn’t mind the cold water
and had fun swimming and chasing her floating stick. Funny how Steve didn’t go
in any further!
I'm Ready Daddy
Go Swimming with me Daddy?
Throw it again please?
We did spend one evening fishing for catfish. It was pretty
slow so I was able to get a picture of the sunset. About two hours into fishing
I finally had a nibble and was successful in landing the fish this time. Kept
the pole too! He wasn’t quite Ol’ Moe but it was fun to get one. We hung onto
him as we continued to fish for a while longer but didn’t get any more bites. Mini-Moe
got to swim away!
Our Sunset
Success
We enjoyed the river once again but continued on our path
home via Joshua Tree National Park! As always, more to come from SIT.
