Where In

The  World

Is Johnny Weston?

   "We sang and shouted and stayed close to each other all the way down the mountain trail," Johnny said. He and four friends were fishing at a lake in Jewel Basin near Bigfork, Montana, and they ran out of daylight. Being in bear country, the rule is to hike in groups and make lots of noise on the trail so that you don't surprise a bear.

   All of the boys caught fish, including the boy who had never fly fished before. The rainbow trout and whitefish they caught were good eating. The bull trout they caught were released back into the lake.

   There was one expert in the group who tied his own flies with tiny feathers that looked like wings on a fly. Everyone wore tall rubber boots and would stand in the water at the edges of the mountain lake. The water was cold, and a dusting of fresh snow 

on the mountain tops glistened in the sun.

Thinking like a fish...

   "What I like about fly fishing is the challenge to work your fishing rod in the proper rhythm.

 You have to land your fly gently, quietly upon the water just the way a real fly would land so that the fish will think it is a real fly and go for it. It needs to be placed in the stream where the fish would likely be hanging out. I like trying to think like a fish," Johnny says.

  After fishing all day, the boys were hungry and glad to get back to the warm cabin. "We had fun talking about the fish that got away, besides the ones we caught," Johnny adds.
Kids relate well to Johnny Weston who tells of his adventures with his award-winning photography. They realize if Johnny can do it, so can they.
