Labor Day

Labor day wouldn't be complete without fishing, so we did some of that. These halibut slabs ranged from 50-90 lbs. Another good day of fishing...thanks to our friend Ben.

Looks like Mishel's fish might be a bit bigger than mine. I guess if you're going to be out-fished by a girl, it might as well be your wife.

For Labor Day weekend, we stayed at a friends cabin (Dave Mitchel, my deer hunting buddy from an earlier post). At the cabin was this cedar hot tub heated by fire. On the right edge of the picture you can see a metal closed off compartment with a chimney coming out of it. That's a fire place for heating the water. The water temp was right at, if not a little over 104 degrees.

Sharp shootn' Mishel.

One of our days we made a trip out to a remote lake. On our way back to the cabin we shot sporting clays off the back deck of the boat.

Here we are at the remote lake mentioned called Orchard Lake. There was a forest service cabin and skiff there so we rented it for the day and used the boat to motor around the lake to access some nice beaches and fishing holes. We caught some little cuthroat trout.

See if you can find Mishel in the picture.
