Yup the annual trip down the Mighty Deschutes came and went this year. This year was a year of firsts which is amazing due to the fact that it was our 5th year. First year in the new sled, new camping sight, my sammy was dry, I actually ate dinner and DaFolder was not hungover the next morning.
We headed out a little earlier than normal being we needed more time to set the sled up, but we were on the river by 9:30 and headed down river stopping at our favorite fishing spots along the way to our camping sight. The weather was perfect for fishing with a slight overcast with no wind. Bob again this year decided it would be in the best interest of all if he did his awesome impression of Ansel Adams while Cliffy and I set hooks in the mouths of young trouts. With a few takes and no lands in our creels we stop for lunch and make camp at a new spot we never camped at before. It was a great spot with a fine feeding lane out front, a nice fire pit, and a tree for shade. We set the kitchen up which now includes a bar and proceeded to make some margaritas and have some lunch.
Bob then proceeded to school cliffy and myself in the fine art of the BB gun game. He was so good his rules included he didn't have to make anymore rules. Dinner was aged rib-eyes cooked over mesquite with grilled asparagus, radicchio and radishes, I would like to say a fine red wine was had with this meal but it wasn't, it deserved it though. After dinner some more BB gun and a few shotguns were had, I would like to say by all but I can't.
Cliffy was in bed before dark, some things never change, and Bob and I stayed up and enjoyed the evening sky with a fire. Morning came from the east and this year it brought coffee and egg sammys on the new and improved kitchen. Delish. Must say Cliffy did an awesome job outfitting his new ride, it's like ridding in a Caddy. We loaded up and made our way down the river. We caught a few, had some nice cast and some beautiful scenery. Cliffy says four day trip in September, I say yes please.
