Trout Fishing on Knik Lake

I apologize for the lack of posts this last week, but things are pretty rough around here.  Gives a whole new appreciation for Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, that's for sure!  I don't want to post too much about it right now - I'm hoping for some good news in the next few days that I can share.

In any case, here's some photos I've been hanging onto since Karl and I headed out trout fishing for the day.  It took us awhile to hunt down the fish, so we relaxed and enjoyed the scenery around the lake.  We were so lucky that we managed to see four bald eagles in the few hours we were there!

Once we found a school of trout, it was game on!  I completely destroyed Karl and caught five rainbow trout to his piddly two!  Don't worry, we threw them all back.  I was a bit disappointed we hadn't kept one though when I saw a recipe on the Today Show for stuffed trout - drats!

I love this picture of Karl - I think it turned out perfect!

Don't expect to see too many posts in the coming weeks unless things turn around a bit.  I don't like writing blog posts when I'm upset because they just turn out whiny.  Think good thoughts for me and send some positive energy to the north!
