Matthew & Family
Had a good catfish trip...the fish were mostly small though and very thin. I think we kept enough for a decent fish fry and enough that the quality of fishing on this particular body of water will improve considerably over the next few years. We should have combined the trip with either dove or goose hunting though...there were enough of both flying around that we could have probably done ok dove hunting from our fishing chairs and setting out some floaters and a few shells for the geese at the other end of the pond...but probably good that we didn't...it was way too relaxing sitting there catching cats to be bothered by shooting something...Matt
hey John...I wish I had some big fish pictures to show you all but we haven't caught much in the way of lunkers this summer. As a matter of fact, the majority of our fish might be considered pretty "shrimpy" so I haven't taken any fish pictures. We caught quite a few though, they just weren't much on the bragging side, but lots of fun on a fly rod. I did attach some photos though of our recent irrigation lake trip...the water was fine and thunderstorms kept things very comfortable while providing a steady backdrop of thunder and quite an impressive lightning show. Heard lots of quail whistling too and numerous wood ducks were using the lake. I don't think there's really any better way to spend a summer afternoon than sitting in the water fishing. Maybe we'll find some bigger fish before the kids start back to school. Matt
