We woke up relatively early, had some bagels, got our stuff together, hit up Dan's shop, then headed to the Eagle River. Dan knew some good spots he wanted us to try. We headed to the first hole with breakfast beers in hand, it was Miller time. We didn't catch too many, Dan caught 5 I think, I caught 2. But my second was the biggest brown trout I ever seen, got it on a dry fly which was the best feeling ever. In the middle some people were floating down the river and threw us some beers. We later saw them all scattered down toward the bottom and one guy way up who popped his tube, his girlfriend looked pissed. Also for some reason I had the worst allergies ever, and I usually never get them. My left eye was all gross and I had snot dripping out my nose the whole day. It got worse and grosser. Danny caught one more on the way out as we finished our beers. We fished for about 5 hours then got some Hawaiian food near by. We ordered way too much but the owner liked us and came out to say what up, he was funny, had that slow Hawaiian accent talk, brah, how did he end up in Colorado?
We were beat again from the whole day in the sun so went to see Suicide Squad, which wasn't great, save your money, then chilled at home and hit the hay.
Love visiting Vail and fishing and hanging with the Danny Bones, it was short but sweet. Wish I could fish all day everyday. Next day I start my two longest driving legs.
