Then Sings My Soul...: SMU-in-Taos Post #3: Fly Fishing in the "Everglades"

Scott Tousa, the title was for you.

Yes, I actually went fly fishing and really enjoyed it. We drove about an hour outside of Taos to Cimarron.

I loved learning about the history of fly fishing from our guide and all the in's and out's as to why they do everything they do. It was fascinating.

Before we ate lunch I had caught 6 fish! I didn't catch any more after that, which made for a pretty long afternoon, but it was still easy to enjoy because it was such a beautiful day.

Here's a picture of me before heading out

first fish, but you can't see it

look at the view behind me, spectacular

here's a picture of our group for the day: genevieve, an smu student; david, our guide; and me

The mountain biking out here is awesome. Here are some shots from a trail right by our camp in Fort Burgwin...

Here are just some other random shots I took in town the other day. There really are some gorgeous views out here. Take note of the sky's "blueness" in the first three pics...beautiful, eh? The last picture is my favorite...
