Let's Make Our Own Fish

Last Saturday, 2/22/2014, the weather was fantastic.  We decided to take a trip around the mountain.  We visited one of our favorite fishing holes, Indian Creek Reservoir.  We got there around noon.  The entire reservoir was surrounded with fishing people, some on float tubes, some on boats, and most fishing from the banks.  We found our spot opposite the group campgrounds.  We tested the water with two poles baited with power balls.  Unfortunately, we couldn't get our bait out far enough due to the lack of heavy sinkers.  We fished for 20 minutes, then picked up and went to Carson City, NV, then around back to South Lake Tahoe, and finally home around 9 pm.  Although we were not successful hooking fish, we did see people in float tubes landing some.

Beautiful Carson River - not legal to fish until the end of April

We saw big fish swimming around

The reservoir is typically frozen around this time and you can walk on it

Fishing is legal year round for this reservoir

Since we didn't catch any fish, it reminded me of the time Ms. Mystic made these awesome jellos in fish shapes.  They tasted yummy!

Let's make our own fish :-)
