Lake Conner

Well, yesterday was such a beautiful day around here, that our good friends, Mike and Becky, decided to make a run up to Lake Conner (just east of Lake Stevens) to check on their motor home. While there, Mike wanted to do some fishing in the lake. They invited us to come up there too. So, we packaged up some food and met them up there.

Here is Becky and Jennie visiting while Mike and I set up for fishing.

Here I am, all set up and waiting for the pole to start vibrating, indicating I've got a fish on.

Here is Mike, all set up, fishing line is wet, and he is waiting for the pole to start vibrating.

There is my bobber, floating in the water. I am keeping an eagle eye on it, waiting for it to dip in the water, indicating that I have a fish on the hook, dangling down in the water.

While we were waiting for the fish to discover our bait and decide that it was good enough to eat, a Bald Eagle flew over us and around the lake to perch on a tree on the other side. (I know, not a very close picture, but it was kinda hard to keep it in the view finder as it was flying around.)

Well, I gotta say that the fish didn't seem to be too interested in what we were dangling down in front of them. We didn't catch anything, but then, is that the entire purpose of fishing? Sometimes, it is just being in a beautiful place with good friends and just visiting and chatting with each other. So.............in that sense, it was a perfect evening and a close to a very good day.
