Fishing Trip
My Boo and I went fishing today on a whim. We went and bought our Bay-Delta stamps (even though we didn’t actually need it), headed over to Lexington Reservoir, and started fishing for trout and bass.
I tried various flies (was fly fishing), from a grasshopper, to a bubble bee, to a minnow, to an elk-haired caddis fly, with no luck at all - not even a strike.
Athena, on the other hand, thought she had a snag hooked on the other end of her Krocodile lure — at least until it started moving sideways on her!
She landed a nice, 14″ Large Mouth Bass - her first fish ever! Very nice! (And very tasty, too!)
All in all, the scenery around Lexington Reservoir wasn’t very good, but spending the second half of Sunday fishing with my Boo was downright bad ass - especially since she caught our dinner for us! Everything we ate tonight was locally grown, even our fish!
Kick ass!
