The first segment of my sabbatical is being spent at our place in Lake Almanor. My friend Monte came up with his boat and we tried our luck trolling for trout in the lake. It was slower than expected, but we managed to catch a couple of good size fish. Monte has a cool new boat, outfitted to the gills with trolling gear. Lots of fun just learning to use all the downriggers and electronics. Fish were definitely not in their summer patterns yet. Much more scattered and shallow in the lake.
Monte and I both used to work for HP. We remembered a discussion once from Dave Packard re fishing. He said that you only get so many days on this earth, but days spent fishing don't count in the final tally. Words to live by.
