Just Like Old Times...The Berry With Grandpa


Well this last weekend has been one to remember. It started off with a trip to the ole Berry Patch Friday morning with Grandpa Clegg. I woke up at 4:45 am to be able to pick Grandpa up in Midway by 6am. We got the boat all loaded, stopped by the corner Gas station to get worms, minnows, breakfast and a sandwich for lunch. We fished Chicken Creek East and had a fun time reeling in healthy Rainbows and Cutts. The highlights of the trip were:
1. Grandpas big Bow caught right off the bat.
2. Perfect weather.(Glass all day)
3. Grandpa hooking a bow in the fin and having it fight like a 10 pounder.
4. Travis’s double hook up. Two fish on one pole. Bow and 20 inch Cutt. (how do you net two fish at once?) The action wasn't red hott like I hoped, but just being out with my Grandpa in my boat made up for all the time in between the few bites we got. It's the stories (old and new), experiences and conversation that makes a trip like this so priceless. I really enjoyed every second of fishing with my grandpa. The fish were just the icing on the cake...Provo Canyon on the way home Goose and Duck Season just a day away!
