My 83 year old dad wanted to go fishing, so my brother and I took him and his wife Doris smallmouth fishing. Didn't get any real big ones this trip, wind was blowing, road was washboardy...

but we boated 32 and the old man still gets it done.

My brother the deck hand...

What a blessing to still have your parents AND they be healthy enough to enjoy a day of fishing. Good on you for taking them fishing. Looks like a good time was had by all.

Very cool. Small mouth and wild steelhead are my favorite fish to catch. Glad you were able to share the time with family.

Apache lake, Az... half my ashes are to be scattered here and the other half in my elk honey hole.

You can see mule deer, coues deer, javalina, eagles, big horn, lion.

Catch largemouth, smallmouth, walleye, trout, catfish, yellow bass, crappie, bluegill, carp.

It's one of my family's favorite spots.

A few pictures I've posted before...

Beautiful country for sure. Saw where the lake is located about 65 miles NE of Phoenix. That puts it tight in the middle of Apache territory, right?
