Everyone Caught Fish - what an incredible day!

By Fred Williams, Oregon

Dawn broke with crashing snowfall waking us for another day
fishing on the many unnamed lakes of the central Oregon
Cascades. We hurried to finish our breakfast by the crack
of noon.

Then it was off to fish. Each lake produced many fine fish;
the largest one landed being 10 pounds. Everything we tried
worked on those creatures (it was just one of those days),
and many stringers held up to 12 beauties. It doesn’t get
any better than this. By the time the day was done, our
arms were tired, but our spirits high.

But, alas, we had worn out the batteries of our $20 fishing
video game.

Oh, well, fishing does not necessarily mean having to go fishing
when you are among best of friends. ~ Fred Williams (aka StreamFisher.com)
