Grandpa Jess Butler was a man of many interests and hobbies. He was a skilled gardener with beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. He was dedicated to Church work - and bread baking! But it was no secret that Jess loved to fish. I think he and Mable spent more than one vacation with a fishing pole in hand. I don't know if she enjoyed fishing as much as he did, but at least she went along and took some pictures.

When asked what he was going to do after retiring, Jess said, "I'm going to do lots of fishing." And he did!

Jess and Mable kept a trailer parked at San Isabel near Rye, Colorado where they enjoyed spending time - fishing!
He is one serious fisherman!
Fishing - the love of his retirement!
