Opener '08

For those of you not into the fishing world (I myself was one of you, a mere five years ago) - Opener is the name of the weekend during which fishing season "opens". Opener has been a big part of our lives for the past five years, since living and working at a fishing lodge in the Eastern Sierras.

Now we come up to help out a little, make contacts and sales for our company, and then Charlie gets to go out at midnight opening night and fish his brains out. That was last night. He rolled in at 9:30 this morning with a huge trout that he caught at 4:30am. Yay Charlie! Now he has taken the boys fishing before they all go down for their afternoon nap together.

Here are Charlie and the boys with our friend, Marlon - and the wonderfully big fish Charlie and Marlon caught while the rest of us were sleeping.
