PAUL CRAIG'S GRANDSONS HAVE BIG ADVENTURE

The sons of Paul Craig's oldest son Cameron. They are Callum (age 8) and Daniel Craig (age 5). Paul says "Daniel Craig is not to be confused with the actor who is playing the role of James Bond in theaters everywhere." Callum and Daniel got their first shot at Rodeo: Mutton Bustin' at
the Crook County fair.
"While neither of them stayed on the sheep for the required 6 seconds in order to get a score, they both had a great time. Callum did his best Lane Frost imitation to the delight of the crowd."
The boys' father Cameron Craig is the Yarrow Project Manager for the Madras Land Development Company, in Madras, Oregon.

SUSANNA ROBAR SENDS THIS FISH STORY

(click on image to enlarge)

Can You Believe This Picture ! ?

We were at Lake Sabrina over the 4th of July weekend. On Saturday, late in the day, this was the last fish caught by one of our fearless crew (Ryan) - one of about 15 fish over the weekend. The last “big fish” caught at Lake Sabrina was a 6 pounder some time back. (Ryan is the son of Bob Robar and his wife Susanna).

Caitlin (Tony and René's daughter-14) caught her own fish and learned the ever helpful procedure of "cleaning" the fish. Maria, Ryan's fiancee, caught one, and of course Bob had his turn at the catching of fish.

But, Ryan surpassed them all!

Ryan caught that big one with a 4 lb. fishing line, a 16 treble hook, and the old American Eagle fishing pole he used when he was a little boy with Robert on fishing trips - the pole was broken, so that same morning before leaving camp for the boat, he mended it with black electrical tape!

It also seemed that everyone else out on the lake at that time was not catching anything. When they saw Ryan's fish come out of the water, no one on the lake murmured another sound.

You can link to Fish@OurLakeSabrina.com for the Sabrina newsletter picture and article. Look for it in the L.A. Times, as well.

Now we are looking for recipes on how to "fry" this big fish!

Just too much, Susanna
