We woke up today and the weather looked just perfect for a wee backcountry jaunt. So I told the family “We’re going!”, we packed the boat and took off to Lake Coleridge.
It was the first time that only Sarah, Jackson and I had put the boat in with just us. The wind was fairly non-existant, and it was a great morning. We got the boat in ok and took off around the lake. After a bit of sightseeing, I showed Sarah how to troll for trout.
We saw fish and they weren’t biting, so scooted back to the South side of Ryton Bay and Sarah took over as Skipper. She drove the boat and kept us over the fish. We hooked up! I landed a small (but very eatable) salmon.
It was great to be with Sarah and Jackson when I caught the fish – and even better because Jackson now knows what fishing is! A great day was had by all!
