Fly Fishing at Mecca Flats

This past weekend we made a quick trip down to Bend on Saturday morning to celebrate our nephew's third birthday and see the family.  On Sunday we stopped off at Mecca Flats for more fishing (Scott can't get enough), but this time we were also joined by some of his colleagues from Columbia.  Pierre and Raph are from France and worked with Scott while we were in Geneva and are now on assignment here in Portland.  They decided their new hobby is going to be fly fishing, so Scott offered to spend some time with them teaching them the basics.  Fish were hooked and some were landed and some got away, but with more practice they will be pros in no time.

Fishing on the Deschutes

After spending all of last Saturday painting our nursery we decided to spend all of Sunday outside fishing on the Deschutes River, one of Scott's favorite destinations in the whole wide world.  On our drive over he kept saying he hoped it would be "fishy" and boy were we in luck.  All of his "honey holes" paid off and he had a successful day.  The look of pure happiness on his face at the end of the day was priceless!
