Just minutes after catching his first cutthroat trout, grandson Chris caught this second beauty at Heart Lake. Fishing guide extraordinaire Eric Moe said the cutthroat were planted recently for a kids’ fishing derby. The two fish were the only catches of the afternoon, but the trip was a success for everyone in the boat. Shortly after Eric commented it would be nice to see an eagle, one of the majestic birds soared overhead on its way to a spot on the lakeside opposite us. We didn’t have binoculars, but we could see the white heads of three eagles on the shore. Then there were the “quiet” minutes spent waiting for a bite, minutes spent in conversation while relaxing in the warmth of the sun. All in all, it was an afternoon well spent … a memorable day on fantastic Fidalgo Island.
