Fishin' with Dad

This morning my dad and I headed up to Jordanelle for some early morning fishing. We left at 6:00 and were on the lake before the sun was up.

Can you see the mist coming off the lake?
There is a saying that a bad day fishing is better then a good day at work. Well what kind of day is it when you can't keep the fish off the hooks?


We landed about 12 nice 14-16 inch Rainbows before 9:00. After that we only caught 2 more but they were the biggest fish of the day. We brought these 2 home for a nice meal. It was cold when we arrived, about 40 and the water was about 62. It is strange to put your hands in the water and have the water warm them up.

We had a great day!
