Fishing on Hebgen Lake


We decided to go fishing on the lake yesterday so we rented a boat from the RV park Marina.  We found out there was a boat available so we hurried and loaded what we needed to fish.  The people that are running the RV park here are wonderful, a nice lady named Tudi took us over to the boat and gave us the safety orientation, wished us good luck and away we went.

The lake was smooth  as a babies butt and we were excited about getting some fresh Rainbow trout.  We put the 6-hp motor on slow and started trolling our lures.  It didn't take long before I had my first fish on the line.  I was so excited to find out that it was a rainbow, all it needed was some butter and garlic  and we would have a wonderful meal.   But first, I had to get the fish in the boat, thats when I realized that I forgot the net.  There is no way to get a trout in the boat with out a net.  I tried to no avail, just to watch the fish jump a final time and get off.  We continued to fish and I caught another  rainbow even larger than the first and again it got off.   We decided to go back to the RV park and get the net and go back out.  We did not get another bite, but we did have fun.
