Great Day Fishing

Great Day Fishing

Sounds like you guys enjoyed your day to the fullest! Toons are kind of fun but I feel better after 3 hour in the LBD than after only 30 min on the toon.:shock: Good looking fish you caught there also, now just to make sure, the first was a Brown and the second was a Cut just so you don't get them mixed up.:lol:

I had a good time too but I didn't catch a thing.... My grandkids did all the catching! We went to Hagg lake about 10AM and put in by the fishing pier and the little guys and gals caught a dozen or so perch. We weren't keeping anything but they sure had fun catching them. It was the first time fishing for my grandson who is 6 now. I'm glad they live close enough for me to take them once in a while.

We fed the birds too but it was only a Raven/Crow (I'm not sure which).

Lets do it again!

Wow...another awesome day....

I know the brown was the first on a fly but was that also true for the Cutty?

 

[Markcanby]

Im going to have to make it up there with my toon this year I really want to get a brown.

 

[lilsalmon]

Yep, I believe all of the fish he caught was on the fly.....no pun intended...hehe

 

[ninja2010]

Way to go guys. One of these days, I'm going to have to break down and "toon" my tail off. The pics look great and yes Jim, you should be a lake guide.

Would a float tune be as afficient, thats what i have..:think:

 

[metalfisher76]

Right on guys!!

 

[troutdude]

Would a float tune be as afficient, thats what i have..:think:

A float "tune"? Did you mean tube? If so, you cannot cover nearly as much water in a float tube, as you can in a Pontoon Boat.

A tube is generally kick-powered, and a toon is generally rowing powered (or with flippers if you wish to slow down your presentation).
