Nearly Perfect way to spend a weekend....

My Princess left town to visit her parents for the weekend so 3 buddies and I loaded the gear into her Heep and spent Saturday day on the Dream Stream. It took us a bit to figure em out. We netted no real pigs but in the end, we all landed our share of nice trout and as evening came on, even some nice dry fly action.
Then Sunday, all day in the garage. First, clean, wax and detail that heep then....
Bronco time - still trying to get the doors to fit before I start welding up Wilma's driver side posts, kick panels and floor pans, I think i am just going to have to compromise and accept that they are never going to be perfect
. (no picks of the garage time sorry guys
)
She will be home this evening so my first task after work will be to straighten the house, then hopefully I can get started with welding up those new parts (and take a few pics this time)

Nice. I haven't been able to get any free time to go fly fishing but that's going to change here soon.

I am in serious need of some fishing time. I just don't have the time to spare right now.

Looks like a great time spent! Any tips for a new fly fisherman on how to figure out what type of fly to use?

Keep a eye out for any bugs flying around or look under rocks and see if there are any nymph's or scuds and go with a fly that looks the same to what you have found.
Was thinking of going when I go to Moab. But not sure of fishing license fee

Most local rivers and lakes have pretty good reports available online, or check with the folks behind the counter at any reputable fly shop. Then armed with your well stocked boxes, go to the river and start casting, do not be afraid to change up until you figure out what is working. Ask others you see fishing, especially if they are taking a break. Generally folks are happy to help. Honestly, achieving a natural drift is at least as important as fly pattern.
Or do what I do.... go with guys who are very good fly fishermen and follow their lead.
