When I visit lakes on the opening of trout season every year, I always make a stop at Jameson Lake. It has been a favorite of mine since I was a youngster. One of the outstanding features of Jameson is the generous amount of shore fishing space. As you approach the bottom end there are vehicles and folks fishing as soon as the water is deep enough to hold a trout. The road continues to be lined with anglers clear past Jack’s Resort. It winds up and around clear up to the boat launch. I have a great time cruising slowly along and watching people land fish and celebrate their catches. They were busy this year. There were a lot of loaded stringers. One angler was carrying his fish to the vehicle and was happy to show me the catch that he and his friends had made. They had some very impressive rainbow. It’s going to be a good year at Jameson. Of course, I never leave Jameson without saying hi to Ginger at Jack’s and getting a couple slices of pie. My wife’s favorite is the coconut cream. This time I tried their apple crisp, and it was delicious!
