THANKS FOR GOING FISHING WITH ME, SONS!On Friday, the 17th of October (Happy Birthday, Dad) Richard, Nathan, David, Matthew and Dave Higginson went fishing at Piute Reservoir in Southern Utah. The group returned later that afternoon having conquered whatever they set their minds to conquering.
Here is a summary-in both picture and text-of the day's events.
David fishes off the Rocky Pointe at Piute reservoir. Though he didn't actually catch any fish off this point, he did catch multiple fish and had a great time catching too many rays.
Matthew with either one of his multiple fish, or a snag. I don't know which.
Anyway, his form is great.

Nathan offered good advice to his younger brothers.
Fish Fear Nathan
Dave looks out on the picturesque scene laid out before him...The bare-rock vistas, the magic of erosion, the shore-rocks painted white by mineral deposits over the decades...now made visible to all by the receding water, the water which would give up no fish to him today.
Dave led us to a great spot, and then wasn't able to partake of its bounty for himself.
Kind of Like Moses.
Matthew watches intently as he gauges the likelihood that there is a LUNKER trout on the end of his line.
Matthew, sometimes impatient, caught at least two gorgeous fish on this day.
Further down the shore Dave (David Wayne) looks for a reason why he has not caught a fish yet.
Life is full of mysteries.
David waits for the telltale tug on his line while Nathan does something more active.
Nathan was the most prolific fish-catcher on this trip, while David, Matthew and Richard each caught multiple trout.
David, Nathan, Matthew and Dave hold up the Beautiful string of Rainbow Trout which were slaughtered for their flesh during our outing to Piute Reservoir.
Matthew didn't want to touch them.
Ready to Go Home............................................Here we have the Higginson Love Wagon on the shores of Beautiful Piute Reservoir...just south of Marysvale, Utah. NOT Marysville....Marysvale.
The day was beautiful, though cool enough that David didn't notice he was getting COOKED by the sun.

Funny...I'm first again!
How childish that I take pleasure in making the first comment on a blog post that no one else knows about.
I am truly small-minded.
Enjoy this latest installment of my up-to-the-minute blogging.
Wow....hope you left some fish for the rest of the people.
Did the biggest one "get away"?
Did you Love 'Em and Leave 'Em? or did you Hook 'em and cook 'em?
It looks like a very FUN, sunscreen filled day.

Yummy! I am trying to become a fisherman. Why don't you come up here and help me learn to be a better fisherman? I went bottom fishing out on the ocean about a month ago. I didn't catch anything but everyone else did and it was good eatin.
