Park City is a great place to learn to fly fish, even for the Bachelor, I’m not much for the show the Bachelor – a little to much Drama and craziness.   But when I heard the event was taking place in Park City this week I knew it would be fun to watch.  In case you are wondering what hotel they stayed in (since they never said on the show), it was the Waldorf Astoria in Park City, Utah. It’s one of if not the nicest hotels at the canyons.  I’m pretty sure they were here in October since that was our first snow storm of the year, and that is when the fall colors on the trees looked like they did.

Here is a little recap from nj.com of what happend:

Fishing for trout, or Ben? Ben took the ladies on a group date in Park City that involved horseback riding and fly-fishing in a nearby stream. Not going to lie: it was pretty satisfying these prissy women put up their hair and step into the baggy fishing suits. Courtney, who’s told us she “blossoms” around Ben, tries to take Ben to a more private fishing area, but Lindzi spoils her one-on-one plans. As Courtney puts it, “Let’s be honest. It’s not really about catching the trout. It’s more about catching Ben.” Good point.

As we were watching this part of the show, where they went fly fishing, I was impressed with how they captured the beauty of Utah but I kept telling my wife how I would have been horrible at this point.  I would have wanted the Bachelorette’s to actually be catching fish.  Ben had a rough go at trying to teach that many people how to fish at once.  To make it worse, they were wadding through the water together, fishing in the middle of themselves.  It’s no wonder they weren’t catching anything.  Even as a professional guide I don’t like to guide more then 2 beginners at a time.  But I guess Ben didn’t have a “no fish, no pay” policy or in his situation “no fish, no stay”.
