the Sasquatch goes fishing

The Sasquatch sent some of his photos of an all day fishing excursion on Taylorsville Lake.

He likes fishing but hasn't gone in a couple of years.  The thing that made this day a lot more fun for him was renting a jon boat instead of fishing from the bank.




The boats can be reserved and rented for the day at the marina there - website. They also have large pontoon boats, canoes and kayaks to rent.  The Sasquatch said they are very helpful and provide a map and show the areas to stay away from and emergency phone numbers in case you run into trouble on  the water.

He traveled nearly 19 miles around the lake that day trying out different fishing spots.


A lovely sunny day...fluffy clouds...blue skies.



Lots of coves to explore and see what's biting. 



A Green Sunfish


Another Green Sunfish.  


A Bluegill...all were small fish...not big enough to keep but fun to reel them in to see what's on the line. 


A wee little Smallmouth Bass. 



Another Bluegill.  They all got released to grow bigger.


Here is one I'd never heard of - a Blue Catfish.  Way different that regular catfish - not bottom feeders, but still those long "whiskers" or mouth feelers.  Back he goes!


A nice variety of fish even if they were small.

The Sasquatch said he is looking forward to going back some time this summer.

He didn't inherit the fishing gene from me.  I have tried it a few different times in my life but found I'd much rather just go somewhere and order a fish sandwich!
