My favorite local lake, Courtright, finely opened this weekend.
One friend drove 400 miles to go camping and fishing, and another drove 150.
I got there first and secured a good campsite before the memorial day crowds showed up.
We caught trout, drank good whiskey and had a good time.

My new favorite lure, a J-9 in baby brown trout color.

You just can't argue with the scenery at Courtright.


This guy is a fish catching machine.
I never have the camera ready when he dive bombs a trout a hundred feet from my boat.

Looks pretty sweet. Tough to beat good friends, good fishing and good whiskey.

Nice way to spend a holiday weekend.

Well done gentlemen...envious.

Well done is right and good photos again.

Can't beat a weekend like that.

One has to feel that,"Life is Great" at that point.

Nice to have all that practically in your backyard !
Good for you.

Excellent!!
