Fishing

So it's been 4 years, Matt goes fishing almost every other weekend, and sometimes weeknights when he can, but we have not been fishing just the 2 of us...

SO sunday afternoon we decided to pack up the dog and head out to try out my skills.. well we were in for quite the surprise...we we headed up the coquihalla the clouds began to get thick, and you could see the wheather wasn't going to hold up, lightning bolting and thunder crashing....
but we held onto hope that it would break just for us. MAN....were we wrong..
We proceeded out to down the forrest path down to the lake anyway, Kujo was in his glory, sniffing everything in sight, and as matt got his rod ready to see how active the lake was.. it CAME down like i haven't been in for a VERy long time. I found shelter under a tree, and not to shortly after Kujo JOINED me.. haha.. Matt was out there like a hardcore with his rod..until the "hail" began..
Thats when we had to make a run for it back to the truck....as we drove outta the bush. SOAKED... we got into the truck, and drove till we came to a bridge and took shelter from the pounding ice chunks(which felt like they were gonna break the windshield) under a bridge for a short while.. then proceeded out to try and get away from from the build up of ice which was not a good combo with summer tires..
The cars were lined up along the hwy not able to drive through this mess... and all the poor Bikers were stuck on the side of the hwy with no where to hide or evern turn around, only wait out the storm...SO one things forsure..mountain wheather is upredictable....
and so.....
our "first" attempt at fishing together this summer wasn't the greatest, but i'm not going to give up.. we'll see what the next attempt is like, and whether I'm "supposed" to be a fisher"woman" or not :)...
I know one things for sure.. made for a great story, and a fun adventure.. Getting soaked & all!
