Chetek, WI -- 2008






We survived another week in Chetek together without any major disasters. The weather was iffy with only ONE sunny day. The rest was cloudy, but we were able to fish every day (although a few times we had to find a cove where we were safe from the wind). Dad had a new boat that mom and I took out alone one day. No scratches, no errors. Whew. As a clan, we caught over 200 fish and had plenty to bring home even after a big fish fry Friday night. The participants of the 2008 vacation: Mom and Dad; Tina, Bill, Zachary and Brooke; Ron, Lisa, Felicia and Alyson; Donna, Carl, BriAnne, Brian, David, Crysta, Sonny, Emelia. We were joined for an hour by Copper and for a night by Bishop. Met an interesting neighbor named David who shared his fishing secrets with dad and stole him away for a few hours one day. They came back with about 90 fish and dad had a new appreciation for a certain rigging (which I can't name due to the sensitivity). I can't believe how FAST the week went. We're already planning for next year....seriously. Carl is planning the menu. Bless him.
