The Trout Are Winning!

[Far-I]

SO....yesterday i had a spot for my permanant to go out on a trout lake, and on the way there my buddies were a little discouraged by rough terrain and bailed on me. My midnight fishing plans went toe [PoorWordUsage] after staying up late with another friend and building an elaborate attachable ski system over a few beers, with a plan to get the house out this afterenoon.

In the meanwhile i got up at five to hit the lake only to find out my car won't start because i guess its kind of cold in ely (but i cannot feel a thing but trout fever!)

back inside my annoyed wife reminds me that on thursdays this semester (which just started monday) that she drives to hibbing for classes at 7, and its a good thing i didn't just go fishing.

So now, getting my son ready for school, i find out his school is cancelled! And it is probably too cold to take him fishing (i am that smart at least!) So now i am sitting here, re-spooled a rod, put some snaps and swivels on one for an experiment, brought the auger in to defrost, and gonna bring it back out. Just kinda wasting away here......oh well.

A little later i think i will be able to arrange a play date for him somewhere so i can fish, or take him to childcare if they're open. I should probably get on top of that instead of b%^*^ing on the computer. Peace- and hope some of ya are out in the cold trout-filled AM

It all worked out ok...caught some nice rainbows (18in and two 16 in) and also had numerous other strikes and teases. They were real fighters and very aggressive! I only got out from 2:30-4:30 but already got another this morning, and my house is heating up and the kid and I are going together this afternoon. Gotta love trout....yum!
