My weekend

Today is going to be one of those "low content" entries, I just don't have a lot to say.

I had a very nice Father's Day with my kids. We went fishing at Bradley Lake, but the park was packed and the fish were not biting, so we cheated a bit and went to the trout farm out by Orting. The kids each caught two, then dad went to the "monster pond".

The monster pond had some huge trout in it, some up to two feet long. I tied a small silver lure onto my ultra-light trout rod, set the drag on light, and after 8 or 10 casts I hooked into a big one. It was cool letting him run around the pond for about 10 minutes before finally being netted.

Then we went home and had a bonfire. While that was going we grilled the fish I caught and some steaks. Yum.

All in all a good day, and sunny to boot.
