The only time I ever fished that lake was about 10 years ago and it was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life but I have since learned to laugh at myself.
I was on a date and we had rented a canoe there at the park and as I was paddling out I decided I might as well throw a spinner behind us and troll a little. Well about 30 seconds later I had a fish on the line and when I got it to the side of the canoe we both leaned over to check it out. Of course this was the wrong thing to do and over we went! So there we are floundering in the water trying to figure out which end is up but somehow I manage to hang on to my rod and the poor little fishie is still struggling on the other end. He eventually flips off and by this time we have the park ranger paddling over to help out along with a couple of helpful hands actually swimming out from shore to aid in pulling us out of the drink.
Needless to say that was the end of our fishing trip since most of the gear was now at the bottom of the lake. Also needless to say she is now married to someone other than myself as I dwell in loneliness.[

It looks like I might need to revisit my past for the chance at some of those fabulous tigers!
