June 22, 2013 - A Fish Story

Cirrus clouds overhead

The day's catch

Today was the last, and best day of our fishing.  We all caught fish, several of them were quite good sized, and the weather was lovely.  (See top photo - those clouds were incredible!)
 
We were visited today by a pair of mallard hens, who came visiting whenever we showed up in a specific location.  We haven't seen the drake or the duckling, and are hoping both are well.
 
The day was beautiful, fun, and originally, frustrating.  We were catching nothing, and seeing no one else catch anything, either.  Finally, we went back to a favorite spot - and the bite was on!  We spent the afternoon catching lakers, and wondered why we'd bothered to get up at 5:00 am.  But then, that is the fishing life.  And we finished the day with a wonderful fish fry, accompanied by great salads, veggies, and fresh raspberries on ice cream.  Some days life is simply good!
