A yearly tradition...

Every fall since Nick and I dated, we have always gone hiking to see the fall colors. We were going to wait until saturday but it was such a nice day today (and it was my first day off in 3 weeks) that we went hiking. We went this year to Whites Creek Canyon trail in south Reno near Mt. Rose. We had so much fun. Nick has a fly fishing pole that he brings every time we go hiking, and this trip was no different. But this time I decided to give it a try. I got lots of nibbles and only a few hooks!!! We were more interested in the creek and fish than the trees. Normal around this time the trees are turning colors. But this year a cold snap came early and so did the changing of the trees. So enjoy our little trip.

Nick and I at the beginning of the trail. No that is not our car it was park next to the trail head.

Nick fishing!

One of many little waterfall, but my camera doesn't do it justice.

Another waterfall.

Looking into the Mt. Rose wilderness. It's incredible.

I had to take a picture of the sky becuase Nick really loved the clouds!

My first time fly fishing.

My first brook trout that actually stayed on the hook. You can't see it well because it was small. About the size from your thumb to your first finger (in an L shape).

The last and biggest fish that I caught!!! Nick was impressed.

Nick told me after I was done fishing that he was laughing the whole time. Mainly becuase I had so many bites but only 2 or 3 got hooked. We were a couple of little kids today while fishing. There was something fun/kid-like feeling when you are fishing and so excited becuase you are catching little fish. But then again, it is Nick and I and we are still little kids at heart!
