Fishing the USA Part 2

Well this will be the last instalment. We have seen a lot since the last report including the Grand Canyon, Zion and Los Vegas. We thought on the way to the Hoover Dam we would try our luck in the Colorado River near the Willow beach Fish stocking area. We arrived after a 1hr of travelling over the dam wall (a very busy place). We had a good look around and found the only bit of moving water. We spoke to a chap who had fished this area for the last week, 5 hours a day, and he had managed to catch nothing so things were not looking up. Oh yes we had to buy a fishing licence and a special permit so we could fish with a Nevada licence on a river that was in Arizona! Any way to the point, we fished this area for about 2 hours and did not manage a touch with the three rods! Still beautiful area perfect water! Perhaps next time………
