Fish On!

Day 1, fish one coming right up
The one that almost got away -this one almost swam away with the pole.

Like and old pro
Ian's first keeper!
Gotta earn our keep. Grandma gets to keep the fish.
Dave and boys out being pulled by cousin Peggy's jet ski!
Rock on!
Mom's turn!

We are back from 2 weeks in Idaho. Two weeks with out wifi and an really, dial up has gotten much slower over the past 10 years, I am convinced of it. I gave up on checking email and blogging. But we are back so get ready.

We arrived and were on the lake in minutes. The first several days were jam packed with boating, fishing and swimming. Day 1 Ian caught the first little lake trout off the boat launch dock. It took hours of casting and danging for one little fish. By day 2 we were on our cousin Greg's dock when I decided enough is enough. No more salmon eggs, garlic marshmallows and fancy lures - we are going back to basics. The boys and I dug some good old Idaho earth worms from Donna's garden and lo and behold -fish!!! Nate had his first fish on within 30 seconds (and that pole also ended up in the lake as we have gotten so lazy we just baited a pole and left it sitting on the dock.) Greg to the rescue and the boys had their first fish, and second, and third, and fourth......!!!
