The reaction I usually get from people when I tell them I'm learning to fish is similar to what I think I'd get if I told them I was quitting my job to work as an astronaut for NASA. So this post is for all you people. See? I can do it.

This weekend my family and I headed out to Hagg Lake. It was a bit nippy, to say the least, but Mother Nature played nice and didn't drop an ounce of rain the entire afternoon. Hagg Lake, which is just an hour west of Portland, is gorgeous and I can't wait to spend more time there in the coming months.

Do you fish?
