The Orion Syndicate (#12) - 2020 & 2021 Champions

Besides going for a little hike on the mountain on Monday and coming across elk that’s been about it. Went over the mountain to help my son that lives in Helper. Did one of the many projects at the house here. Next weekend I hope to get ice fishing with the boys.

 

Very nice
I raked the yard
Picked up trash that has collected thru the winter in the woods
Trimmed yucky saplings (my wife was pointing them out as if I could not see them)
Started the irrigation system
Added corn to the feeder
And sold two ladder stands that I had not used for years
Productive day

Hey guys, just checking in. I spent last week in Ft. Lauderdale with all the Spring breakers. Wow. It is not the place to go if you have a heart condition. lol. We had a great time just relaxing at the pool and eating at some amazing steak and seafood restaurants. We flew down on a private plane with friends and decided to come home a day early because our weather back home was going to be in the 70's and I was really wanting to go fishing. I took a couple of friends out to the new pond and we had a ball catching the rainbows that were stocked last Fall. They were smashing small spinners and fight hard in the cold water. Now we are socked in with a couple of days of rain. When it clears up, I will be putting in some new mineral sites and freshening up the rest. I have used Lester's product (Rakk Fuel) for several years and I encourage you to give it a try. Best results I have ever had. Soybean seed and sorghum seed is in the shed and ready for Spring planting. I also have some clover to put in. It will be so nice this year to have some additional time to get ready for deer season. Enjoy your Spring!

 

That’s a nice haul little chief.

 

LC,
That is a great catch you had there. We are headed out to go ice fishing hopefully we do half as well as you did.

 

Thanks LC
We had a good trip today. My son my granddaughter and my sons brother-in-law went. My sons brother-in-law is from Peru so ice fishing was quite an experience for him. We caught around 40 trout or so and 14 perch. We only kept the fish you see there.

 

Believe it or not I’ve never even tried trout. I wouldn’t even know how to cook it. I don’t believe folks fillet them and southern fry the fillets. [/QUOTE]

I loved Southern fried fillets. when we go to our family reunions in Kansas we do a great big fish fry with catfish and bass fillets. I grew up in the west so most my fishing is trout related. Trout is a stronger tasting fish. So some fish like tilapia I don’t care for because to me it doesn’t taste. You can fillet trout but I usually just gut them and put them on the barbecue. I’m lucky cause my wife loves fresh fish. LC if you’re ever out in Utah let me know and we’ll go trout fishing

 

That is an awesome day on the ice! So fun to share it with family too.

I just got back to the office after a trip to Scheel's where I picked up a new fly rod and all the gear to learn the art. I am in hopes of catching quite a few of the rainbows out of my pond before summer. I think catching bass and panfish on the fly rod would be a lot of fun also. Time will tell if I have the knack.

A buddy of mine put some of our trout on his Traeger grill and they were the best trout I have ever eaten. I am now a lot more excited about bringing them home.

 

Next week is our Spring Break here. (My wife is a school teacher) I pulled the trailer out west for a few days of camping. It was great weather So I decided to shoot a little bit. I only shot 20 and 30 yards. I felt pretty good about it

 

That’s money. Nice shooting.

 

Thanks Ash. I hope next week to get out and shoot 40 and 50 yards.

 

First of the season!

 

Congratulations
