More Fishing

Weather continues perfect here in Hill City, SD.  Roger had just been here on a fishing trip so we called for all the inside info.  He decided I couldn't be trusted to find the stream myself, so he and Claire flew up to make sure I got it right.


Here's the little one I got yesterday while waiting for their plane to get in.

And here's the stream below Pactola Lake where he lives.

Then Roger & Claire arrived and we went to the Alpine Inn for dinner.  There are two items on the dinner menu.  You can have the 6 or 9 oz bacon wrapped filet, a wedge of iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing, baked potato and Texas toast.  All for $8 or $10 respectively.


Rog and I went to the stream above Pactola and I got another small one.

 Here's the section where he lives.


Then Roger snagged something and actually got it to the net, but something went wrong at that point; bottom line, no picture, no proof.

Let me know if you like the pictures in the larger size.

We are off for a short drive.

Stay tuned.
