Instead of hunting, we decided to go fishing this weekend. My friend and co-worker, Gar, took me fishing to Rock Lake on his boat. It's called Rock Lake because there are lots and lots of rocks. They rise up in the middle of the lake. Gar hit one last week and got the boat stuck and broke a shear pin on the prop. So as we left the so called boat launch this morning he watched to make sure he missed the submerged rocks as we made our way out. It was cold and in the 30s when day broke on the lake. The water was in the mid 50s so you could see mist rising into the air. It was really cool!
Then the wind and rain came up. It was a good thing we had a full canopy on the boat. It was very nice out of the weather. This picture is after the rain and wind ended and we made our way back to the launch. We fished for a couple of hours in the morning and only got a couple of bites. I was starting to doubt. But then our luck started to change. Gar decided to change lures and that did the trick.
Here is our catch. 2 rainbow trout and 4 german browns. Tomorrow I'll be smoking fish!

Nice catch!
Hope you are having fun smoking fish. That is what Mr. T is doing today, also. He snagged salmon yesterday.
Thanks! It was a team effort, and good clean fun. Even when I don't go with Gar, I often get part of his catch if I agree to smoke them.
Nice photos!
That cloud photo is especially nice.
Have you thought about enlarging and framing some of your work Don?
Thanks Diane! I printed a Glacier photo not too long ago.
