Fishing






There was a small lake on the property where our cabins were and Clayton loves to go fishing. Kevin took the kids and helped them with the fly hooks and right away Clayton caught a big lake Rainbow Trout. The rules are to catch and release, so we unhooked him and set him free.
That fish was not very happy about being caught in the first place though and it flopped around in the lake , swimming belly up, peeking up int he water and then swimming down below - giving quite a show really! After about 30 minutes, it finally gave up on life and we fished him out of the water, packed him on ice, and sent him off to be mounted (at Clayton's request). We should get him back in a few weeks. Now, back to fishing with the kids...not much more happened after all that. Nicholas threw in a few times, got bored with that and quit, and Kaylee wasn't interested in all that but was happy to watch.
