Sounds like you guys did a little better than us. We spent about half the day Sat. fishing above Sunbeam. Not many people and lots of fish to target. Fished a fly bead combo and had a ton of strikes. Hooked up solid 10-12 times or more but only landed 7 which 5 where natives. Good times for sure and the weather was awesome. Best part was Avery even hooked into on. He watched and helped us all day Sat. and Sunday morning before we left he said he wanted to try. Set him up with just weight and made him practice for a while. After we got it down I put a fly bead combo on his spinning outfit and let him go. There was 6 of us all up on the bank watching Avery fish the hole. For being 5 yrs old he was doing great and fishing the seam like a grown up. My buddies couldn't believe it. Well on about his 30th cast he nails one and the fight was on. Now Avery is surrounded by 6 screaming people all telling him what to do. We should have stayed back and just let him do it because we got him all 
and he lost the fish after several minutes. I was bummed but not Avery. He just said "Well that was fun, I guess I'll just have the catch another on". That was the end though and we needed to get home. Good trip!
