Gone Fishing...

After exploring the lake on Sunday, we decided to rent a pontoon boat for a 1/2 day on Monday to do some fishing. We set out early so we could be out on the water before all the boats and jet ski's. While my Dad and Jamie prepared the fishing poles I was assigned the task of finding a nice place to fish.

It was pretty cool in the morning, especially while the boat was moving but it gradually got warmer as the day went on.

My Mom, Jamie, and I had a pretty good day catching fish. Our best catch came near the damn (Shaver is a man made lake and the damn is pretty impressive. As kids we took a tour of it with my Dad, he loved it of course, I mostly remember walking around with a hard hat and flashlight). We caught about 4 fish in 20 minutes!

Here is our catch from the boat, we later continued to fish near the damn and my Mom caught one more.

Unfortunately, my Dad wasn't very lucky but he made up for it on Wednesday.

Here is a good picture of the damn with Jamie and my Mom trying to get a couple more fish for dinner. When we got back, my Mom and Jamie cleaned the fish. Apparently Jamie got in a small water fight with another guy there, but that's a story for him to tell. We cooked the fish, 6 rainbow trout and 1 brown trought (I'm proud to have caught the brown, it's native and rare to catch, the rainbow are stocked every year so they are plentiful) in tin foil on the bbq and had fish tacos. They came out amazing, so fresh and tasty.
