Gone Fishin'

Last weekend, Andy and I got ourselves out of the city and into the mountains for the first time this spring. We went up the canyon by Paragonah and went fishing at Red Creek Reservoir (Paragonah Reservoir). It was so fun to breath the fresh mountain air and witness nature in all it's springtime beauty. We took up some food and had a picnic dinner at the side of the lake. Although it did try to rain on us, the rain quickly turned to sun and Cambrie, Calina, and I went on a walk up by the stream that feeds the reservoir. This stream happens to be where the resident rainbow trout spawn. We probably saw 500 fish in the stream. Cambrie and Calina were both tickled to death that they could see all these fish and hear them splashing in the stream. We had fun "sneaking" up on the fish so we could get a better look, and then when we would make noise, we would see them swim off in a flash. The little walk we went on was BEAUTIFUL and very fun. There are restrictions on fishing in the stream, in order to protect the spawning trout, so Andy stayed on the lake in his bass fishing boat. He got in a few hours of fishing and got a lot of bites, but no fish. Still, the outing was worthwhile. Pictures to come when I have a minute to download them. :)
