Hosmer Lake

Yesterday was Sydney's 9th birthday and we went canoeing on Hosmer Lake (she got a horseback ride with a friend yesterday). Hosmer is about 45 minutes from our house, and is absolutely beautiful. It's also filled with trophy-sized trout and Kokanee Salmon lurking just below the surface in full view through gin-clear water. (The video has a shot of a school of Brook Trout - they were about 10 feet down and I'd guess the biggest ones were approaching 24 inches.) It's enough to make a fly fisherman cry.
