We went FISHING today. Dennis caught the first fish, but I ended up with most and biggest! I have to admit though, Jay was the first one to catch fish with this particular jig, and when he caught two he decided I should have the lure and he would switch to another similar one. We all had really good luck, but I ended up catching the most and the biggest : >. Dennis is going to cook this one up for us Monday evening. The rest we released. It was a good day. I lost count after 10.
It was fun catchin’ em, but I have to admit, I still have a hard time killing them, when we decide to keep one. I know all our meat is killed before we get it. It’s always a good reminder that these creatures give their lives to feed us. This cutthroat was the largest of the day.
On the way up to the reservoir we stopped at one of the streams and watched the kokanee salmon which are swimming upstream to spawn. Very neat to see. It’s nice that fishing these guys is not allowed while they’re spawning.
It was a beautiful day up in the mountains. I hope to take a few pictures of the fall colors tomorrow.
