Fishing Pine Valley Reunion
I cannot remember a time we did not catch fish at Pine Valley. The fishing was good with velveeta cheese, power bait and castmaster lures (gold, silver, and Jimmy's Special). Everyone who wanted to catch a fish hooked into a rainbow or brook trout.
Heather caught the biggest planter (rainbow) I have seen at Pine Valley.

Not all fished, but most came down to support. Here Gina and crew are waiting their turn with David (Daddy).
Jimmy is not only an angler but an engineer of fine fishing gear. Jimmy and Rachel modified a castmaster lure (proprietary information sorry I cannot tell you what he did) and caught fish when others were just wetting a line.
Rachel enjoyed fishing, but I think she enjoyed watching Jim more!
Jacob kept Dan and Jessica very busy but both had time to catch some fish. I think Jessica out fished Daniel if you take into account the number of fish caught per cast. Good job Jessica.... sorry Dan.
Jacob is off and running to explore the natural world. He really enjoyed all the people and the newness of the whole experience.
Richie and I walked over the stream to the south side of the reservoir to make a few casts. We caught two fish but the heat was getting to me so we called it a day and went back to camp. The campground is surrounded by big ponderosa pine trees so one can always find some shade.
Big Daddy also known as Jim is helping the Hammer ('my hands are like ice picks' Sink) remove a trebble hook deep from the bowels of this fish. Hammer is very careful around hooks since his incident. For more information see the Sink family blog. It will be well worth your time. It was fun to spend time with the Sink clan. They have all grown so much !

The fishing AND the badminton looked like a lot of fun! I always loved going to pine valley, it's such a wonderful place for the whole family to have a lot of fun camping.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see Jimmy in the pictures too-- officially now part of our family!
Sorry we couldn't make it... if we could we would be there for every family vacation. Miss you!

Cris had a blast meeting the fam! We enjoyed ourselves tons. Even though I didn't go fishing this time, Cris loved going with you guys the one morning! I guess scouts in the church really can teach a boy to fish (he was 15 when he learned). :)
