[Trout]

Lake Berryessa, Calif.
It's been 10 years since we've had all 3 kids together up at the lake. it was HOT but we made do and had a great time..


This is our camp...when in doubt, bring your our own shade...


sitting around camp under the misters when it's a 103 degrees out..the temps ranged from 100 to 105...


this is our pregnant daughter-in-law Michelle with her first kokanee...


This is our son Chris, our future cop with his first Kokanee.

time to hit the bar and get the party started..


Sunday we had some friends come out to fish with us..

Monday, kids are gone and it's just me and Mrs.Trout.
we started off the day fishing the big island with only 2 other boats..
caught one kokanee right off and then nothing.


back at camp, Mrs.Trout and I had the whole place to ourselves so it was time for a quiet swim and lunch...


the wild life. our flock of Geese, ducks, deer and one thing that we couldn't figure out..

continued...


time for some cards so we moved our table and chairs down by the water...


Mrs.Trout wanted to do some fishing out in the cove behind our camp so I got her rigged up with some hot dogs and told her to have at it...
I took a nap...


can you belive, she hooked up with an 8lb catfish, the fish was releasted to fight another day...

tuesday, it was all about coming home.

we sure had a great time...
thanks for looking...

It looks like you had a great weekend, fishing and best of all having the family together.

Awesome pictures. And to think that for all these years I thought Kokanee was beer!

Glad to see you had such fun.

Hey Trout,

Nice pictures.

No wonder you took up scrollin'

Seems like the whole family is outdoing you in fishing

Glad you had some good family time, and hope you managed to get in some rest.

Regards,
Marcel

Hay Trout. what a nice lake, boy the animales are great. did you ever figuer out what the other one was. those are dear?? from here they look like elk. and , what is the kiss the first fish is all about , never herd of that. lol how funny. and OK MISTERS. camping, LOL. how did you do that. your family looks like a great bunch. see what you started. and my most favorite thing is Mrs. Trout catching that monster cat. YOU GO GIRL. I have never tried hot dogs , but my sons do that. i used to make my own cat bait, out of rabbit liver, left in the sun for a while. then watch them come get it. the rotton , the better, also with some garlic added. yuk..
I could go to the bar now. and it looks like all the right stuff, except i do like my beer. is there some in the ice chess.?? ok Im good. so glad your home now, and can get on with some scrolling. can't wait to see what you come up with now. your friend, Evie mone, I feel so left out, no picneck, no fishing, not beer, drats

it's not scroll saw talk...

but I know some of you like to see fishing pictures too..
I've started a 10 hour work day for the summer so that's what been keeping me from the saw..plus getting ready for camping. I'm also dealing for a outboard motor that isn't running, that's what kept our catching down this weekend..I thought I had it fixed..so here I am on vacation trying to figure out what's wrong with our kicker motor because we're going to need it in a couple weeks when I on vacation again...

Plus I didn't want to order any patterns, didn't want them arriving while we were gone..

I'll be scrolling again soon, but until then I've got you guys...

Thanks again for looking at my pictures..

BTW Evie, luckily all the kids are over 21 and yes we had plenty of Bud beer. the best part about it...on one got drunk, pleasantly buzzed...
