After we had Mars, Chuck had gone fishing with his uncle and nephew and I had to stay home with the baby. I told him he owed me a fishing trip.
We went fishing up on the Rim a few weeks ago. Chuck loves to fish and I have only gone one other time that I actually caught something, but it was too little to keep.
We had some success at Tonto Creek, but nothing to brag about.The next day we went on the Res and stopped at Nana's hole and Hawley Lake. We caught nothing at the lake and Mars and I were so cold and tired of waiting for Chuck to try to catch something.
We drove a little farther north and found a great little hole with several fish in it.
Mars was getting tired and needed a diaper change, so I decided to throw the line back in one last time before heading to the car. We sat down for a few seconds and had a good bite, then Mars holding onto the pole and Mom reeling it in - we caught the biggest fish of our trip!
Mars first fish! It was great fun and after a diaper change and food in her little belly, Mars was just as happy as Mommy was.
Chuck and I both caught our limit that day and we drove home with 15 fish (12 Apaches, 3 Rainbow Trout). We had a fish fry and ate all the fresh fish as fish tacos. Mmmm!
