Spring Forward at Dale Hollow

Another successful spring trip to Dale Hollow, TN. Weather was perfect but the fishing was a bit off. Sir Tim scored right off the bat with a nice 20" walleye. During the next few days it was mostly small bass and sunfish, then Hagar scored with a 20 3/4" smallie. No camera and not quite legal, he had to release it, keeping only a memory. The Prince closed out the big fish with a 21" walleye on Saturday, a somewhat overcast and drizzly day.

We had some campfires and several games of horseshoes. Most of our spring trips have been very wet and cold but this one was just the opposite, nearly perfect weather with warm sunny days and cool Knights. We even managed to get a little sunburned.

One catastrophe this trip was the loss of Sir Patsy's rod and reel. We suspect a lake trout reached into the boat and stole it while he was busy releasing a small bass. Well, that's what the Bass Pro Shop is for.

Sir Concorde brought along a friend, Squire Gary. Concorde and Gary braved the trip by riding along in Lancelot's Land Rover, with the dirt seeking hull. No mishaps on this trip, the Land Rover staying firmly on the water.

Snaps to follow soon.

On board for this trip were
Tim & Faithful Patsy and Robin
Hagar & Roger,
Galahad & Gawain
Lancelot, Concorde & Squire Gary
Prince & King
