At Last!  One that didn't get away.
Our son, Greg, during a 1998 camping trip, landing a nice kokanee salmon off of Rubicon Point, Lake Tahoe, CA.  The water is quite deep here (the lake reaches depths of over 1,600 feet), and when we cast our lures out as far as we can heave them, we give them a lot of time to sink to where hopefully the fish are.  This was mid-summer, so the kokanees and mackinaws were down deep, where the water was cold enough to suit their liking.  We've fished here often, and though we don't catch a lot of fish from these rocks, those that we do get are usually big and scrappy enough to make all those hundreds of empty retrieves worth the wait.

I have recently created a set, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/romair/sets/72157614300817314/">Our Life Story</a> , for photos such as this one that contains over 100 images, all pretty much in chronological order, and since I'm not getting out to do much new photography lately (that will change!), I'm going to start wandering back through my archives to see what more I can find for this set that I haven't already posted. Take a look at it and let me know what you think.  I've even put together <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/romair/3490001203/">a book</a> of sorts containing the images and descriptions from that set.
