The Good Lake. 2/27/16
« on: February 27, 2016, 02:37:55 PM »
Had barn duty as usual this morning. Turns out I was excused from staying and thus had a block of free time in the middle of the day.

Didn't expect much. Moved around trying to find a bite. Crowded, so not many options in my preferred zone.

Noticed a spot open up so I set up shop.

Missed a couple light bites, then I stuck one.

Good hard fight, over, around and under rocks. I could feel the line rubbing. Nice guy with a net missed once, fish dove under a rock. He thought it was off and apologized profusely.

I got it out from under the rock and he nailed it on the second try. Thanks, man.

Had to split soon after.

If you're only going to get one, it might as well be a nice one.

Nice trout! Haven't fished for them since I lived in Bakersfield.

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

I take good care of Vee. She is family. And she gives me lumpia.

Hit me up Reid. I'll show you how to catch one trout a day.
