I sat down to tie on a dropper while Skylar tossed her first lob into the pool. When we arrived, we decided on a hole and got to work. Our river is relatively small and offers great standing room on sand bars and shores.

Cautiously, we stepped our way down to the river and snapped photos of dart-frogs and insects along the way. Walking through the jungle is tough, and even harder when carrying a 9-foot rod. We ventured out on a beautiful, sunny morning to some well-known swimming holes in my community. IвЂ™m not sure if they know how tiny trout can be in Colorado, but I wanted to test the waters for myself. They reported that any noteworthy fish would be caught beneath our waterfall and the fish arenвЂ™t big in any sense of the word. When I arrived, I asked the local crew about fishing the river. We are fortunate enough to have a river which cuts through our community which provides some great slow water and deep holes. While IвЂ™m eager to hit the saltwater, IвЂ™ve been busy working with my community and my days off are limited. My treehouse and community are located on the Southern Pacific side of Costa Rica, where fishing is often saltwater and fish are often Tuna, Rooster and Sailfish. IвЂ™m currently living in my treehouse near the Osa Peninsula and will be updating you with my adventures as often as I can. I will be here until August and fishing the entire time alongside my fisherwoman, Skylar. I finished grad school at the beginning of May, and quickly made a move to Costa Rica. Hello fishy friends! ItвЂ™s been a while since my last write, and for good reason.
