More From Navajo Lake

I've now been out on the lake a few times and the fellows have only missed one day - today when Larry finally had the hook in his thumb removed by a plastic surgeon in Farmington.  The surgery went fine and there was no nerve damage so all is well and he expects to have a rod in his hand by Saturday - long process!

When I have been out on the water, I am still amazed by the rocky tree-infested shoreline and my camera sees all kinds of things...

I am sure the 6-foot cracks and crevices hold all kinds of treasures.

The trees seem to be camoflaged - sometimes you only spot them by their shadow.

There are faces in many rocks...

and I must have been playing "Angry Birds" too much because this sure looks like a green pig laying on its side...

I wonder how many motors were dinged by this rock when it was just a few feet under the water...

 

With the water so low, it is not unusual to spot this kind of marker buoy.

I was called down to the Marina one day to take a picture of this 9 pounder Mike caught.

When you clean fish at the fish station on the water, these carp love to hang around.  You can judge the size by the full sized duck floating just above them. 

Bonnie and Barry and Mike and I spent a few hours on the water yesterday.

The boys were fishing back in this beautiful bay on La Jara Arm.

 

 

Bird Rock was keeping close tabs on our actions.

And Mike caught this beauty - if you can read the scale, it says 12 POUNDS.

 

Mike isn't smiling cuz it was just plain heavy - cool huh...

We tucked the fish in the cooler and eventually ended up on the Colorado end of the San Juan Arm at a small marina where we celebrated with ice cream. 

 

 I have to quit and go to bed.  Barry and Mike and I are going out at 7 am.  We are both "fishless" - I will let you know the results of our early morning adventure.
