Last weekend Swag, Pilk, Katie Coleman, and I decided to head out into the great outdoors for some good ol' fashioned "freeze your tail off and catch some lunkers" at Strawberry Reservoir. In actuality, only Pilk froze his tail off. The rest of us were rather toasty in our mummy bags despite the lack of a tent. Swag had brought two tents, but one smelled like puke and the other didn't have the proper poles to accompany it...
We ended up catching 11 fish but only kept 7--just one short of our limit! Nothing beats mallows and worms at Renegade!
The Kokanee Salmon are currently spawning upriver this time of year. One fella was all spent and was resting mostly out of the water. So Swag grabbed him for a quick snapshot.
This is Murdock. He was a fiesty cutthroat that met his match. Check out the size of this fish! He's as long as the width of my body! What a lunker!
We gutted and filleted them in preparation for...
...A fish fry of the grandest order! Sauteed with some butter and a seasoned with a healthy dash of Old Bay, fresh trout filets couldn't be beat! Man triumphs over fish--again.
