Forced to Fish Again

Another fishing milestone; Rog caught fish, I got skunked.  We went to the base of the Table Rock Dam which flows into Taney Como Lake.  Taney Como Lake looks a lot like a slow moving river which flows through Branson, but with a dam at each end, it is considered a lake. 

The day started with rain but it soon cleared up right after Rog got a few fish.  Then the sun came out and the bite ended.  At least I got a few pics.


Rog was just so happy to have snagged this poor fish, I had to take his picture to get him to let it go.



Backing up a little, this is the most interesting sight on I 70 between Denver and Kansas City






Planning to veg here til Monday, then on to St Louis.
