A Big Fish Story



Last week Eric was invited to go to a private reservior
 in Nevada to go fishing with a 
couple of his buddies.
  They left Thursday night and drove to Wendover 
and hit a couple of casinos
 and did a little gambling
(what else would you do in Wendover?)
 and then 
got up Friday morning and drove 
another 1 1/2 hours to the lake called 
Chittendom Reservior.
  The 3 of them sat in their float tubes
 from sun up to sun down.
  Eric caught one nice fish around 11:00
 but the afternoon appeared to be real slow. 
 After having a tangle in his line 
he cut the line and replaced
 the fly he had been using all day
 with a jig.
  That seemed to solve the problem.
  After that he caught 3 more fish.
  The one in the picture was the catch of the day.
 It is the biggest trout ever caught in his fishing career!!!!
  That one fish made the 3 hour drive all worth it.

That fish looks fake. Very cool!
Did Eric win big money so you can come to the wedding?
