trout were some what slow, I managed one, had several bites.

the floor show was spactacular... several guys took the polar bare plung with all thier clothes on.[:p] Wished I had a vidio to record it for you and americas funiest home vids... LOL what a hoot....

mother nature put on a spactacluar show as well, fireworks in the norhern skys came in the form of what could best be discribed as heat lightning.

I number of sizeable bull frogs came hopping through our camp.

This year there was pleanty of parking at proud lake, extra parking lots were opened for the event.

[left]I went back again today, temps turning south, today I decided I wanted to use a cane pole.. I did tie in to one about 20 inches, got a good look at him for I lost him.. LOL.. dont let any one kid you, trout fishing with a cane pole aint as easy as it looks...

[left]I was usin a 20 footer, manufactured type not grown, havent seen a grown one since my grampa's days. he used to have his 20 footers hanging a side of his fishing cottage.

[left]I wasnt sure that the cane pole would sencitive enuff to feal those light tapps of a trout, My wories were all gone when I caught me one of them funky river perch.
