The boss said "take the rest of the day off", and I said, "I'm going fishing!"

I had an excellent day fishing today at Henry Hagg Lake, in Forest Grove Oregon. It was a cold day, breezy at times, and poured down rain more than once during the several hours I spent today. I didn't mind any of the weather, but the rain was a bit of a pain, because I couldn't read my Kindle during the downpours (as if I have any right to bitch, when I've spent a paid day off fishing)...

I caught 7 trout, I took 5 home, and threw two back to the Goddess of the lake.

I posted a photo of the day's catch in the gallery here...I was pretty amazed that each fish I caught today, was bigger than the one before it. It was weird!

Personally, I've never caught a rainbow trout as big as the last two fish that I caught today. I'm also really proud of myself, this was my first solo fishing trip. I've always shied away from it, because despite the fact that among my friends, I have always been the one who dispatches and cleans the fish, I didn't think that I could do all of the jobs by myself. I've always had some one grab the fish as it comes out of the water, they hold it while I either cut the line or pull out the hook, and then they hold the fish while I dispatch it and gut it. So, I was really nervous, but it was actually quite simple, quicker, and less messy.

It really has been an amazing day for me. I feel really great about my trip, and now I feel even more competent at fishing.
