Been a long time since my last report... lots of life-changing events... getting back to near "normal"...!!! Got my two oldest sons and their families together for a great day of pic-nicing and fishing at Tanwax Lake. The folks at Rainbow Resort have always been so great to me. Fishing off the dock for six grandchildren and five adults. Arrived at about 11:30, fishing by noon. Took awhile to figure it out, but began to catch fish in a short time. Fl. orange or red Power Eggs with 3' to 4' leaders seemed to be the ticket. Not "hot" fishing by any means, but plenty of action to keep us busy... lots of lines and leaders to untangle, what with 7 & 8 year olds insisting that they can cast "just right"! My wife, Boni, caught two nice Rainbows of 12" & 13". Grandchildren caught another seven, and one 14" Brown Bullhead (a.k.a. "catfish"... Judah insisted on using worms!). Ate our fill of KFC with all the "fixin's and had a wonderful time. Counted a total of 37 lines off the dock at one point in time, saw perhaps 12 to 16 fish caught beside ours. Left the lake at about 4:00, several of the littler ones in need of a nap, as was "yours truly". Lots of Eagles and Ospreys fishing... watched one Eagle rob an Osprey of it's catch. Great to be back out on a lake again.

It's so good to here and see You doing what ya love to do again, All the reports from last year and all . I remember pictures were some of the best and I used to fallow You'r reports every day I know Your an old vet at the fishing does not need any more said so . As for our age it doesen't even matter , Myself I've just gotten all the what evers that come when you retire and sign up for SS , I can relate to the reasons You
had to take off a little time to recover and regain your health , funny thing I have found myself in the same boat , trying to get over a bit of
pneumonia enough said. Watching the younger people have the time of there life and learning all that is out there to see in nature can't be bought for any price . Your ole fishing hole on Green Lake Is where Myself and and old friend learned to fish a long time ago maybe the late 50's or early 60's remember when ?, It seems like yesterday almost , Some day for sure or paths will cross and there might be many things to talk about till then don't stop what brings joy to the heart . fish on !
