One of my retirement goals was to start doing some lowland lakes trout fishing. Today was my first day out on Lake Wilderness. I got to the lake a little after 7:00 a.m. and had my five trout by 11:15 a.m.
They range from 8 to 12 inches.
This is an aerial view of the lake’s location.
Here is a road map view of the lake’s location.
In 1976 Dad and I built two boats for fishing and sailing. My boat has been in the garage since probably 1979 or so. We moved to Enumclaw in 1977 and Tanya was born in 1979, I don’t think I have used this boat since Tanya was born.
My boat is the yellow one sitting in the lake.
Here are a couple of pictures of truck I recently purchased and by fishing/sail boat. It has actually taken a while to get the boat cleaned and to rebuild the trailer. It needed new tires, lights and hitch coupler.
It was a good day and I’ll be out again tomorrow morning. Tanya is giving me her BBQ now that she is moving to Poulsbo and I think I have figured out how to use it to smoke trout.
