A New Place To Fish

I'm getting a little spoiled this week.

On Friday Robin took the day off and we headed out at 4:30 am to Tucannon and a full day of fishing. Caught some BIG ones.

On Saturday morning, me and my buddies headed back out to Tucannon for some more fishing. Of course we packed the cooler full of beer and later fish.

On Sunday I didn't get to fish, but we took the girls to Chuck E. Cheese's. They love that place now.

On Monday I decided to check out the lake next to the Playground of Dreams in Kennewick. It is really only for kids and families, so we had never given the place much thought. We always just walked around throwing bread at seagulls and ducks.

Well, the girls and I discovered a little piece of heaven right in town. Chloe and Mikayla hooked into four triploids (trout over 2 pounds) and several others, none of which were under 8 inches.

I love this time of year up here. When you throw a fly out on the water, fish literally jump out of the water and thrash all the way to shore. Chloe and Mikayla are hooked. We went twice today alone.

Eating fresh trout for dinner is AWESOME. The girls are so good at using our poles that tomorrow I am going to go buy them both real rods. No more 3 foot Barbie poles. Hell, even with those Chloe can cast a good 30 yards out.

BTW: Still no word on our latest offer on the house.
