The club President, Bernie, had a truckload of donations gathered from members of the fishing club and members from Bear Canyon Senior Center for the fire victims in Ruidoso. We unloaded them Monday morning and then went fishing at Alto Lake just north of Ruidoso.
Dinner was at Jorge's Mexican restaurant located in the hotel (Days Inn) parking lot. How convenient! The next morning at 4am, we were awakened by sirens. One of the hotels across the street was on fire. Looks totaled, just hope no one was hurt or injured.
Tuesday some of the members tried their luck at Grindstone Lake. Only 2 fish were caught, so everyone there left around 930am to go fish Alto Lake again, after a successful day Monday. Dinner found us at Anaheim Jack's enjoying burgers, fish and chips and a bunch of laughter and fish stories! Our Powerbait was so good, even a pack of wild horses came to check it out. I didn't know we had a horse whisperer amongst us?
Wednesday we were all up early for coffee and breakfast at the hotel. Then packed up and headed to fish at Alto Lake again until about noon. Most of us packed up and decided to try Alto Cafe for lunch before heading home.
I think talk was the club caught over 85 fish this trip! Biggest was 14.5", with a bunch of 12-13" keepers. Everyone made it home safe and sound. Maybe a few with wind and sunburns!
