Wednesday was a beautiful, 70 degree, sunny, still day and such a nice day to spend at one of our favorite lakes, Pactola. The lake had been so low on water 2 or 3 years ago that we could not even dock the boat. 2 weeks ago, the water was so high that the docks were under water and some of the roads leading to the docks. But, this week was perfect.
I hope these pictures will make you feel like you are on the lake with us.
There were people enjoying boating, canoeing, kyaking, sailing, skiing, hiking, swimming, fishing like us, and just out enjoying the outdoors and beautiful weather.
We caught quite a few fish, some were too small to keep, like the one you see my husband Jeff with. Below he takes the lure from the mouth of a Rainbow Trout.
Me fishing and relaxing at the rear of the boat.
If you look very carefully, you can see a grey herring bird camouflage next to the shore.
This is the famous Ginny's Gulch where the younger generation hang out and jump or dive of the rocks. There were about 10 to 12 teenagers on the rocks yesterday.
If you have ever been to Pactola lake, you recognize this rock island just a short distance from the dam. 3 years ago it was completely out of the water and was not even considered a Island.
This is as we were calling it a day and coming into the boat dock. If you look closely you can see the many boats and pontoons that are stored at the docks.
Some of the fish we caught, above, Bluegill that were nice pan fish and below, the four 12 to 13 inch Rainbow Trout we caught. I hope each of you can take some time to enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful creation that God has given us.
