Saturday was a big day for son, SuperPizzaBoy. He went running with me, in the morning and then his Improv comedy class. He is with the teenagers this year, they bring they A game to class so SPB has to step up.
Then we decided to go fishing. We hadn’t been fishing for years. So after a late lunch, we packed up our rods, reels, tacklebox, and cooler and headed to WallyWorld for me to get a license and get a few other odds and ends. (Fishing license in Oklahoma is $25!!!!!)
We headed up to Lake Pretty Water in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. I love the name and the name fits. It is a beautiful small lake out in the middle of nowhere. Clean, neat, and well cared for.
We got special licenses to fish here. It was worth it. Come November they stock it with trout. We were fishing for catfish today. We didn’t catch any fish. I think that may by why they call the activity “Fishing” and not “Catching.” Didn’t matter, fishing is a great way of getting my head on straight, and get some relaxation.
I wasn’t the only one who was chilling Saturday.
Just think a lifetime of memories only cost $25.00.
Awww…that last picture is just priceless. Sounds like a wonderful day!
Okla Fishing License – $25
Fishing with your son – Priceless
I haven’t a clue whether $25 is expensive or cheap for a license but it seems like a good day was had by all which was the whole idea of the expedition I assume?
Delightful picture of SPB.
What an awesome way to spend the day with SPB. And if you’d caught fish you would have to clean them. Ugh.
Love that last sleepy pic!
The lake does look wonderfully serene.
What a lovely place and very peaceful looking! The last shot is priceless! love it! Hope you are now ready for a great week — both of you!

Great post!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Yes, fishing with your son: PRICELESS!
What a nice way to spend a Saturday!
I think it’s great that you and SPB have found a way to relax together. Too bad about not catching any fish, though.
My Dad loved to go fishing. I have such fond memories of sitting on a dock with him and having long and wonderful conversations as we waited for a fish to bite. You are making the same nice memories for your son!
I love that final photo. What a great day for you two guys.
I love fishing–I just don’t like catching anything. Then it’s work. And guts everywhere.
$25 for a fishing license?? HOLY WAH! <–I had to try out my new favorite Michigan phrase. I’m not much of a fisherWOMAN but I think SPB may have been bored too. 😉
That last shot is priceless!!!
There’s nothing like time spent by the water with the excuse of a rod in hand. A lovely post.
SPB made me laugh, bless his heart. Looks a lovely place Yogi, thanks for the tour 🙂
You’re absolutely right, its as much about the fishing as the catching!
Great pic of SPB. He certainly looks relaxed!
Love the name of the lake.
Fishing is therapeutic, even if you don’t catch anything. I haven’t done any for years, now I stick to knitting!
$25 is cheap, a friend of ours has a trout farm here in Yorkshire, he tells us that for some rivers in this country a license costs £2000, so obviously the general public have no chance.
