Payson Lake

Dave kept on catching tiny brook trout. We let the little guys go.
This was while we are driving, not the greatest picture but hoping you can see how pretty it was up there.







Me and my two fish. I brought both of the in at the same time! When I was reeling in my fish it caught the line of another fish that still had the hook and line in its mouth but must have broken off someone else's pole! We were trying to get it untangled from mine when Dave was like I think there is a fish on the line! He pulled it in by hand and sure enough there was a fish on the end of it. It was crazy!



Gage's first fishing trip! Sydney showing him how to fish and reel them in!




He takes his fishing serious

We went to Payson Lake today. I have been up there once before, years ago. I went with Sarah, AJ and their friend Greg. I remember passing out as Sarah suggested that we go camping. She does not do dirt. It was great. We fixed tin foil dinners that we cooked over the fire and Sarah made AJ and Greg sleep so if the bears came they would reach them first. (It was the year that the little boy was pulled out of his tent and killed and it made Sarah a little paranoid) They did have us leave the next day because bears were spotted in the camping area.


The lady that we talked to as we went in said that a week and a half ago there was still 4 FEET of snow! They just opened up a few days ago. Crazy! The water was really high and freezing cold. It was so pretty up there and green.

  2. PS You left out the part where I about passed out from terror in the middle of the night when I was sure I saw a shadow of a man with a gun on the tent.

  3. I'll have to show Maria that there is no snow on the ground there anymore since she's going to Payson Lakes for Girls' Camp next week. Nice catch, Emily!
