First Fishing Day In 2009

   Posted by: Doug   in Family Pictures, Fishing

Dad and I decided (with the encouragement of Amy and Chris Wilson) that it was time for us to get away for our first fishing trip of the year. We decided on Henry Hagg Lake. We had a typical Oregon spring day for it, rain with occasional sunshine – But we were dressed for the worst of it. We had a great time.

We arrived at about 7 AM

Dad and his boat!

We were in the water (the boat was in the water – we were in the boat) by about 7:30 AM

We caught some trout – But the real thrill was getting some really good sized bass. I caught 4 over 12 inches. Here is #1

Sadly, dad didn’t get into any of these beauties this time – But he had a great attitude.

It’s so wonderful to have a godly father, and to continue to enjoy one another’s company as mature adults!

The Grand-daddy of the Dad – 14 Inches!

It was indeed a pleasure to be out fishing with my favorite son (only son), Doug.

It was a great day on the water even though he caught all of the bass. Ha!

We hope to have many more such days.
