I let son number one skip school today so we could both play hooky at a well-traveled lake near Mt. Hood. The weather was perfect; warm, a slight breeze, and not a cloud in the sky. The fishing, on the other hand was more challenging. Neither one of us could seem to crack the code. We’d each catch a fish, then go quiet for half an hour or 45 minutes until we changed flies. Rinse and repeat. It still beat a day at work, and I’m sure Ollie was happy to not be at school.
