Fishing at Flaming Gorge


OK, Stacy is always wanting me to write something on the blog so here you go. The kids and I went fishing after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. We did our annual trip to Flaming Gorge and Mustang Ridge. It was another successful trip. We were suppose to have rain, but we only got wind. We caught a total of 29 fisher between us (me, Abby and Austin), Kelly, and Dad (Terry Sr.). Kelly, of course showed us all up by catching the most, 14, fish. The highlight for me though, was Abby caught 4 all by herself. We were using worms and a bubble and so I would cast it out and have her watch the bubble. As soon as it went down then she would reel in. She loved it and caught the 4 with out any help from me. The other highlight of the trip was the net. Both Abby and Austin loved to use the net to get the fish into the bank. They were really good at it also. We usually do this trip in one day, but we decided this time to spend the night. So, we rented a condo at the Flaming Gorge Lodge. The kids said "it was so much better than a hotel!" It was nice because we did not have to get up early to go nor get back. We were able to fish until we got tired and then go get a good nights sleep and fish again the next day. I loved being with my kids. I love seeing them climb on the rocks, or over trees. I love seeing them play together. I love seeing their faces as they caught the fish and then even more as they touched them. They are wonderful kids.
