Don Q Outdoors: Mackinaw fishing with first timers at Lake Tahoe

Sunday, May 20 was a memorable day for two of our friends. The two friends are Stephanie Parker (our neighbor) and her brother George, who was visiting our area from Phoenix, Ariz.
Stephanie is fairly new to Carson City and to our neighborhood, having moved here from Las Vegas, where she lived and worked for many years.
When I first discovered that George would be visiting and that he is an ardent fisherman, I asked Stephanie (who also fishes) if the two of them would like to try Mackinaw (Lake) Trout fishing at Lake Tahoe.
Without hesitation, she said, “You bet. Yes, we would!”

We all have regrets. Well, most of us anyway. Maybe (just maybe) there is someone out there that has walked on this planet and felt good about all of the choices they made from birth to death (but it is hard to imagine). And I’m quite aware that there are some that make loads of bad choices but don’t know how to take responsibility for them and instead blame others for why their life isn’t working. (This is an issue worthy of later discussion).
