Sorry we took no pictures.

She explained it years ago as showing my love, now I'm sorry & crying each year. :'( Going Monday all day, less knuckle heads I guess. Mike

I guess I'll just wait till my brother-in-law calls and invites me out for halibut. Then I can bring my boat back with my truck.

Post by: waoutdoorsman on April 28, 2009, 06:22:42 PM: Went out opening day in the evening, the crowds were greatly reduced, and managed to catch two trout-trolling old school style (with oars 8) ); First I tried wedding rings and night crawlers w no luck, switched up to a small spoon and caught my first fish for the 09 season about 5 min afterwards, nothing to brag about, just average stocker trout (11-12"), but it was a great day none the less.
