Vermont

My fishing contract with Paul was for the 4^th and 5^th and 6^th of May. It was written in the contract that we hoped for ice out (the day the ice melted). We fished three lakes in three days. The ice went out on the first lake the 1^st day, on the second lake the 2^nd day and on the third lake the 3^rd day. We didn’t catch any fish the first two days, even though we had a fishing guide. Paul and I each caught a couple of two-pound Salmon the third day. Paul’s friends, Dick and Art took their boat all the way across the lake. We couldn’t figure out why they were gone so long, so we went looking for them. They had rather silly looks on their faces as we towed them back to the dock. They had run out of gas.

This picture was taken when we were on shore for lunch break on the third day.
