Opening Day of Fishing Season

trout fishing day

Last Saturday was opening fishing day here in WA. Seeing as how Victor and I both love to fish, we went out to Hicks Lake (a very coincidental name) and tried to catch some fish. Now, the plan was to be out on the lake by 6:30 am, but we had some friends over friday night and we didn't get to bed until 2:30 am. We didn't get out on the lake until 11:30 am... Even though we got out there late and the fish weren't biting, it was a nice day to just relax on the lake and soak up the sun. Our friend David Rummel came out with us and he got 2 fish on, but they both got away. Victor took his bob off and started casting and reeled in a 2 lb trout! Sadly, that was the only catch of the day. Victor had 2 more fish on, but they both got away. (I didn't even get a bite!) Ian was really good during our 4-5 hrs on the boat. He slept the whole last half. If you notice in all of his many face shots, he got a haircut! Yup, I cut off the combover! No more Donald Trump hair... These days he's sportin' the faux hawk!
