Overnite trip to Idaho...

Saturday Morning May 15th 2010. Got up at 4:30 a.m. The truck and trailer were all ready to go. Grabbed the final things we needed for an overnighter plus a cup of coffee to go, and headed north again to Idaho. A different lake we will call Lake C.

We got there, got the trailer straight, boats put together and hit the water by 9:00 a.m.
After several very expensive mishaps (the brand new gas motor falling over and breaking the control lever, so unable to try it out. Then dropping the ENGLISH Orvis Battenkill LA reel loaded with Depth Charge line on my step, to have it bounce and SPLASH!!! gone!
Fishing was very slow. The Chironomids were not effective at this time, so, went with regular old Woolly Buggers.









The Fish were all safely released for another day...



Oh and the Birds were AWESOME! Love that yellow ...




Packed up and headed home around noon on Sunday. Motor is in the shop and the line is on order......... Such is life!

Our nieces graduation weekend....

Friday, May 7th 2010 Headed up to Chubbuck for niece Ashley's Graduation from Idaho State University.





The Ceremonies were scheduled for Saturday, but we headed up Friday morning to meet up with Match and wife Marisol on a little lake up there.

They were already on the water when we got there, but Match came in to say hi and ...well take care of business.





We got the new Tubes (Escapes by NFO) aired up and ready to go..
