The Bean Himself and Mr. Bean went fishing with friends on opening day of fishing season up at Odell Lake. Wow it was cold. Snowed on us enough for us to have a snowball fight between boats and build a small snowman in the back of the boat. We didn't catch much. Our boat brought one in and another friend caught one that was to small to keep and from the reports we did better than anyone else on the lake. We did better than one guy though. We were at Shelter Cove warming up when the police officers who were checking folks took off.

Turns out that a guy fishing alone parked his truck at the Shelter Cove boat ramp then ran around and began to load his boat only to have it roll back into the lake. He got in the water twice to try and hook a cable on the front of the truck and wound up with a trip to the hospital for hypothermia.
We still had a wonderful day out on the lake and then had to make a run back to town early for The Sprouts 4th Birthday party.
