Monday's Catch

I would just like to say that posting these out of order

messes with my head, but Steve wants them

up tonight to share with the world...

and rub it in how much fishing

fun is to be had in Walden.

Please take a minute and appreciate the mosquitoes

I had to brave to get the following photos.

This is a shot out through the window in rear view

mirror of just one side of the Jeep.

(Don't worry. Sophia is in her car seat with

netting covering her from head to toe.)

Steve hooked up
A nice North Delaney Butte Lake trout
Brown trout about 5 pounds.

The second fish I witnessed...
Skyrocketed out of the water.
I was lucky to catch this photo.

Steve was loving the fight.
He looked around with the "did you see that?"
written all over his face!
Yes, I did and caught it on film!

The last minutes of the fight
I actually got out of the Jeep for the rest

of the pictures. I was running around
from the swarms like an idiot...
the things we do for love.

Still, one of the better shots I've taken.

Another brown trout, bigger one!

Soon after this...I punted and headed

back to the bus.
I hung in there as long as I could!

Steve took this photo with his cell phone.
A brown trout it was the second fish caught.

Estimated 3 1/2-4 lbs.
