Wickiup Fishing

Post by oldranger »

took Markskor fishing at Wickiup Reservoir this week. Fishing was slow. I felt kinda bad as Mark didn't catch a keeper while I caught:
My first 20 inch kokanee that weighed 3.1 lbs.

plus:
20", 19", 17", 15 1/2"

Maybe next time I'll let him put hooks on his lures! :evil:

So, OR, are you saying that Mark is a fish coddler?

I took him to a lake where he could catch fish today. Much smaller fish, max 12" , but we could sleep late , drive an hour, fish for hour and a half and bag 5 fish apiece, then drive back and arrive home by 1215. Friday we will see if he can catch the biguns.

Very nice, those are some brutes.

Those are some very nice fish. In addition to being envious about catching such nice fish, I am also envious of the meals that followed.
