Mother's Day

Last Sunday, Mother's Day, we had plenty of time to go fishing before taking Joe's mom out for BBQ rib dinner. It turned very warm and sunny. Bloodroots were in bloom, and so were some trout lilies. 

Although I donated a lure quite early on this trip, I actually saw a fish chase after my spinner. A good size fish, about 15", not a steelhead (lake run). I changed my lures several times, but no luck. Still, I was very excited.
Later I almost lost another lure. I was able to walk across gingerly to retrieve it from the other side and to snap this picture from a different perspective. 

Good thing we made our way back just in time for a shower before Mother's Day dinner outing. Phew.
