New dynamic fishing duo dominate @ Jenks lake

All living forms, above and below Jenks lake froze. And the fish trembled at their approach.
The new fishing duo, Robert and David.

Bob and his new fishing buddy David have certainly become a dynamic duo. They wasted no time in their first endeavor together. At the onset of their debut they proceed to read the environment; weather, wind and lake conditions. They settled themselves in the north-eastern part of the lake under the cover of shrubs and trees.  David quietly approaches the edge of the water. Bob had inculcated on his young apprentice on the proper method of walking around the edge of the lake, " fish have ears they  can hear and sense your approach..." he said. Well... it must be true because David caught the largest fish ever taken at Jenks, 8.5 pounds. His bait was prosciutto, on #16 hook and 4lb., green Shakespeare supreme line. He fought the fish to the edge of the lake and his mentor, Bob slid the net under it.

David was obviously very happy with his first catch of the day. After weighing it he blissfully  put his prize
 in the cooler filled with ice.

" I know exactly how I am going to prepare this, it will be a mouth watering delicacy ". 

 After a few hours in their original spot they moved over to a section of the small fishing pier and began to explore the water with jigs, flies, and power bait. Failing to get the desired results, they experimented by mixing different scents and colors of power bait. David was most successful mixing power bait with prosciutto. Bob uses his green and salmon mixture to complete his limit.

happy angler

The fearsome twosome were so successful that other anglers approached them asking for fishing tips. Bob sure seems to enjoy sharing his expertise.

 As the afternoon shadows begin to embrace the pier it's time to say adios. Until the old sage, Robert, extends us another invitation to fish his favorite places in California. He mentioned something about the high sierras.
