End of October Fishing Report!

Bud N Mary's set us up with Captain Mike Basset and we had an awesome morning of trout fishing. Windy day so the Captain recommended the trout fishing and the 3 of us hit our fish limit in under 4 hours. Captain Mike filleted our fish in ten minutes and we had the most unbelievable lunch. Highly recommended.

Great day! A full day out fishing. Dress in layers as the morning is cool, but afternoon gets warm. Bring hats and suntan lotion.
Everyone caught a lot of fish- the crew made it easy and fun. After the trip they sorted the fish, filleted it for us and recommended several restaurants to cook it for us. It was a great day.
