Garth has been looking for a float-tube for a long time, but we didn't want to put out the money for one. Call us cheap, I guess. But a few weeks ago he was told there was one advertised on KSL.com Classified and it was located in Spring Glen. It was at a better than basement bargain price, so he called and was told to come over and see it. It turned out the owner had purchased some other toys and needed the garage space for storage. He said he got it from a member of his family and had never used it. It was brand new, with a motor, oars, and everything, except the battery. It was a very good deal and he made the purchase. A few days later he was given a battery from his friend the battery man, so he was able to come out with a sweet bargain. We drove up to Pete's Hole and took it out for his first experience. There was a fisherman nearby who was as excited about the boat as Garth was. He helped him get it into the water, gave him a few pointers and Garth was off! I was glad he had something he has wanted for so long.
This video was an accident. I didn't know it was being taken as a video. My comment about the bikers leaving: When we got to Pete's there were 25 4-wheelers lined up along the dam, meaning about 35-40 people fishing. Didn't leave many fish for us, but as you can see, Garth did get one. Add that to the one the next weekend and we had a good meal of trout.

Dad is pretty excited about his new toy. he had to call me and tell me about the new toy he bought. glad he is happy with it!
Good job. I am glad he caught something. It looks like he is having a lot of fun.
I am glad that he is enjoying himself. Maybe next year we will have to have the kids go fishing. I wish we could have gone this year but there is always next year.
