Kish 2010

Post by David »

Posting a few Photos is probably not the end of this because I have over 200 and some have movies. is there a share site to exchange these.

Thanks to Jon and Carrie for setting this up and getting the misc stuff handled.

ALSO many thanks to Dave and Pat for their hospitality.

In the first photo, I think I look a little bit like the Ned Beatty character from "Deliverence". How unfortunate.

I can make pig sounds.

The last photo reminds me of standing there, and I remember thinking I was not likely to catch anything at that spot, but digging the view, the process, the company, the dinner to come, and the fine time it was, being.

Thanks to Carrie and Jon for doing the bolts, and thanks to all y'all for suiting up.

Next time we have to bring a set of scales..... I checked this out some more.  by scaling the depth of the fish  against the lenght, the depth of the body is around 8.7 inches. There are a million formulae for the circumference of an ellipse, none of which will be totally correct, but say we add a third of the value for the depth (minimum) that gives a girth of around 20.5 inches. using the tool on this website (http://www.laketrout.org/lake-trout-weight-calculator.htm) would give a weight of at least 16 1/4 lbs.

Dave, thanks for posting these. I'm ready to go again. We need to start planning for next season's death paddle trip. Mike, tech guy, could you pass along the details for posting.

Blazing hot but took the first tomato off the vine yesterday.

It was a great trip. I can't believe we all pulled it off.

See you at the wedding!

This place looks a lot more comfortable that the tents. Dave, you can fly a plane right?

Margie and I paddled down to check this one out. i think its for sale, or maybe just one of the buildings, maybe we should pool our resources and put in a bid

I can't resist adding some pictures from the Ima Lake trip in the BWCA back in 1960!
