Fall River 2006

We went on our annual Memorial Day weekend fly fishing trip to the Fall River in northern California. College pals Art (Tony) Hartinger, Matt Cline, and I have been doing this for around 20 years; Matt and Tony a couple more years before I joined them. We've brought some/all of our daughters for the past 3 years. They always have a good time hanging out together. This year my partner from Merrill Lynch, Jeff Harding and his daughter Kelly came along as well.

A good time was had by all, even though the weather was really bad and the fishing probably the worst we've had on these trips. Elise Hartinger definitely had the catch of the trip, a measured 20-incher. By far the biggest catch of the trip that saw very few fish get landed at all. That's Elise's proud dad Tony in the back; the photo was taken by their favorite guide, Carl.
