Decided to take the little dude for some trout fishing at a foothill lake this morning. Started out at first light....very cold morning. He was still half asleep when he got on the boat so I wrapped him up and he continued sleeping on the boat while I fished.
He's in there somewhere:

By the time he woke up, I already got 5 fish to the boat, trolling buggers and misc. stuff.
He woke up ready to go and after a quick breakfast of rice krispies and juice, the 3wt started bouncing. Fish on:

Made quick work of a nice chunker:

The action was pretty consistent and after reeling in a couple more fish, he wanted to be in charge of the net:

It warmed up a bit after the sun came out and the action slowed a bit. A lot of boats on the water by then and it was almost impossible to navigate the good trolling lanes.
So we beached the boat and found a little cove with some active trout.
Off he went looking for dinosaur fossils while I tried to bobbicate a few fish. Can't get enough of watching the bobber go down. Fish on:

Fish to hand after a nice battle:

Fun trip. Ended with 15 fish landed with a few missed strikes. Not a bad morning. We'll be doing this again for sure.
