Fishing--2 days without snow!

Please note that the subject is "fishing," not catching!
Today was the second day in a row without any snow, so we grabbed our fishing gear and headed to Clark Canyon Reservoir because the fish are biting now that the ice is receding. I hooked two, but each broke my line less than 5 feet from the bank. I'm using a new reel with new line, so I'm not quite sure why the line broke; the fish appeared to be in the 4 - 5 pound range, and my line should have handled that size easily. I've never had a line break twice in a row like that. Wayne hooked a nice rainbow, too, but his practically spit the hook out at us when he broke the water. We had a nice afternoon at the lake, even though our skillet is empty tonight.

Left, Wayne not-catching. Right, rocks under the water.
