A Lesson Learned

So, this is Scott. I have been doing a lot of fly fishing lately and in the process have had a lot of ideas and thoughts about my new life as a fly fishing guide and therapist. The more I think about fly fishing and therapy the more and more they keep coming together. There are so many similarities that I find my mind wandering while fishing trying to figure out a way to implement fly fishing into a therapeutic process.
I have noticed that sometimes the wandering of the mind can be negative and I will miss a fish or two and then at times the opposite is true where I find my mind wandering to thinking like a fish. Weird I know but, it has brought a whole new meaning for fly fishing for me. It is giving me ideas in what to do with certain people that I work with.
Actually, I had a pretty interesting experience when I caught this fish today:
I caught this fish in a place that I had fished more than once and even guided a few people on. I had never caught a fish here before. As I left the house this afternoon I told Andrea that I was going to catch a fish here or die trying. Well, after fishing the spot for about an hour or so I finally caught this rainbow. The experience taught me that sometimes you have to go out with a goal that seems huge and then work long enough and hard enough that it finally ends up like you want it to. I didn't stick around too long after catching the fish but, I did go away thinking that I could catch more next time.
So, lesson learned, stick to it and make a goal to accomplish something difficult and don't give up until you accomplish it!
Fish On!

Halloween

So, it has been a long time since we have posted and we have a good excuse, our camera is starting to flake out. It will only take about three pictures and then the batteries die. We think it is trying to tell us something.
Anyway, here are the few pictures it did let us take for Halloween.
