Fishing with Dad

For years my dad and I and sometimes my brothers and brother in law join us to go fishing at Trial lake in the Uintahs. We don't go as often as we used to, in fact last year we only went once. Today we finally went for the first time this year. there are many reasons we like to go there, for one I don't think we have ever come away without our limit of fish, but also it is a beautiful place. Here are some pictures of todays fishing trip/ We both brought back our limit and released as many as we kept.

I like to fish with a spinner, because the fish hit so hard and they fight harder than with bait. Today I tried every spinner I had and only caught 1 fish on a small red and white Dare Devil spoon. I found that the secret combination today was one 1 salmon egg on a small hook with half a worm. Once we found they were hitting on that combination we fished most of the day with that. Like I said we both took home our limit of fish and released all the ones we hooked in the lip and could safely release them.

 

Several small thunderstorms came through but we only had a few minutes of light rain

Ever wonder why they are called the Rocky Mountains

We stopped at Provo River Falls to take some pictures

It was a great day

Our 4th of July Weekend

Friday afternoon we took Bennett to Grandma and Grandpa Great's pool, then that evening Spencer and Rachel stopped on their way to St George, Dave Catie and Bennett, our Neighbor Joe, Nery and I had a wonderful dinner to get the holiday started. Saturday we went to my Sister Angie and her family's home for another Bar B Q with Grandma and Grandpa and Bennett spent the evening with us, he had a great time with cousins. Sunday my parents had Nery and I for a quiet dinner at their home and Monday Nery and I enjoyed a nice motorcycle ride up Weber Canyon over the Trapper Loop to Eden. It was a wonderful weekend and holiday. We are so blessed to live in this free land where we enjoy so many blessings. Here are some pictures:

Bennett met this beautiful young lady and quickly learned a valuable life lesson, they both fell in love with this fish shaped floating device and had a short discussion on who it should belong to.

Trying to be a gentleman he took a more diplomatic direction and offered her a flip flop in exchange for the Floaty.

At first she was not interested but then decided she wanted both, Bennett just scratched his head and wondered how this happened.

That evening at Lola's house a sprinkler was all he needed and it was good to be the center of attention again

How many men does it take to blow up a wading pool?

Evidently three and I wish they would hurry

Finally now let's get some water in this bad boy!!!

My dad my hero

Don't worry, I'll take care of filling it

Better watch your step I swing a mean hose

Time out for a cool drink
