Philanthropic Fishing?
The first fishing trip of 2007 was to Roosevelt Lake. This time, we were fishing for a purpose. The AZ Game & Fish Department asked for volunteers to help restock Apache Lake with smallmouth bass, so we answered the call. What is better than having a great time fishing while helping a local lake get back on its feet?
Saturday was cold and it rained off and on, but we caught 15 fish! Too bad only two were smallmouth, but at least we were able to contribute something. On Sunday, it was even colder (38F) and it rained the entire time. We ended up leaving before noon because it was just too darned cold and we were soaked. We had only caught 3 more fish and none were smallmouth…
When we got back to Globe warmed up and were getting ready to head back to Phoenix, we encountered this sudden change in weather:
Guess it’s a good thing we decided to leave when we did. Sadly, we got stuck waiting for a snow plow to clear the mountain pass before we could continue on to Phoenix. A great trip with a strange ending. I’ll be glad when it warms up a bit…
