Fishing at Mackay

We like the River View Golf Course and RV Campground very much; it is very quiet here day and night, just our cup of tea.  The fishing is fun and varied.  We both hope that we will come back this way in the future.

One of our fishing holes is on the golf course behind Hole #7.  Below is a nice mountain view from Hole #7 fairway. 
Mt McCaleb starts to peek through the clouds over Penelope after a couple days of rain and snow in the mountains.

A view from our front door.

  Gari limbos under the fence at #7 tee box to get to the Big Lost River.

 

Gari at the fishing hole behind hole #7.  The water is up in this shot.  The rain and melting snow are still coming down the mountains.

Oh wait!  Gari has a whopper on!

Steve presents the whopper Rainbow Trout.... that Gari caught behind the golf course!  Gari won't touch a fish so Steve gets the picture.  Released unharmed.

Looking across the golf course in the direction of our camper.

Gari negotiates the fence style on Hole #7 on the way back from the fishing hole.

Fishing at the Marinac Access.  Gari is casting into the river, can you see her?

Oh that face; it's not a bite, it's a snag at the Marinac Access.
A view from the reservoir.  The water is calm enough to mirror the Sawtooth Mountains that day.  Gari is taking out by Romeo in the distance. 

Kayaking and fishing on the Mackay Reservoir; we see a Loon pair on most days that we visit.  They sing their song to us.

Gari hooks a small Kokanee Trout, that's a throw back.

Steve has a fighter on.

Removing the hook.

 Steve finally catches a fish!  It's a pan sized Rainbow Trout.

Three came back to camp for dinner.  Two Kokanee and one Rainbow.

Grilling the fillets.  The Kokanee flesh was very orange.  Yum!

Only one fish eater in this camp, that's Steve enjoying the fresh catch.

Another mirror shot from out on the reservoir.

More Rainbow Trout dinner.

A shot from Gari's red kayak, we just can't resist the beauty...

Steve trolls his lure along the still reservoir... 

 Gari plays the monster Rainbow Trout around the rocks below the reservoir dam.

This is the monster fish that Gari landed; we estimate that was a 3+ pound Rainbow Trout.  Released unharmed.

Three more Rainbows came home for dinner this day.  This catch was a little larger specimens, they didn't fit inside the mixing bowl.  The weather had just closed in on us that day.  Can you see how white the ground is behind Steve?  That is the hail from the storm that just passed.  Now it's time to clean some fish.
