There is really a wide variety of "pay to fish" waters. Some are just fish in a barrel and they have they're place. Great for a begineer or kids. Others like this place in Oregon are managed for trophy fish but it isn't easy.
Last year the last day we fished Eric landed 17 and I landed 10 (yes he outfished me so what else is new

).
But there were also four other guys on the lake that day. They caught a whopping three fish between them. They were just not clued in to what the fish were doing and subsequently pretty much went fishless.
And speaking of dinner, Shelly when are you and Bruce going to be available to go out. Want you to meet Sue and talk fishing!
