Browne Lake

I had the opportunity to take some time off work and go camping with my amazing wife. I always have such a fun time hanging out with her. Especially when we can get away to the out of doors. Just look how much fun she has fishing!

We went up to the lake the same time as my uncle and aunt Mark and Terry. They are always super fun to hang out with. I told them its because they are still kind of immature.
This was a two-point we saw on our nature drive the first night there. We also saw a couple of bighorn sheep. Now Annie finally believes me that they exist.

We spent a fair amount of time fishing out of my newly acquired hunting boat. We trolled on a couple different lake with only moderate success. My cousin Korry and his kids were also with us. Jayden caught the most out of the boat I think. Trent, my other cousin, lost the most lures though.

These are a couple of night shots I took from our camp. Trent helped me figure out how to take them. Pretty cool pictures considering they were taken at 10:30 at night.



The most successful fishing I had was on the stream behind the lake. I probably caught 30 in a couple hours. They were almost all 8-10" brook trout but still tons of fun. Annie was nice enough to come photograph me.



Thanks Annie for convincing me to take off work. It was tons of fun and I can't wait to do it again!
