FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

WAS IN THE CREEK ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS I WAS ENJOYING MY VACATION IN THE PEACE AND QUIET OF BUFFALO CREEK.  FRIDAY WAS REALLY GOOD AS I CAUGHT 2 HUGE PICKERAL.  LOTS OF DUCKS AND BIRDS OF ALL KINDS AND FINALLY SAW SOME DEER. BUT HAVEN'T SEEN THE EAGLES IN A FEW WEEKS AND WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.  THE CREEK IS AT A VERY NICE LEVEL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT SHOULD BE WITH ALL THE RAIN.

2 DAYS OF FISHING AND A BEAR CUB

KIND OF BEHIND ON SOME POSTS.  FINALLY GOT BACK IN THE CREEK FISHING LAST SATURDAY AFTER WEEKS OF RAIN.   HAD A GREAT DAY WITH  PLENTY OF FISH...TONS OF DUCKS AND DUCKLINGS TO WATCH AND MORE BALTIMORE ORIOLES.
THEN YESTERDAY I GOT IN THE CREEK ABOUT 6:30 AM AND ANOTHER GOOD DAY WITH 15 CAUGHT AND 3 WERE MONSTER CHUBS.  THE ONE WAS FOR SURE 15 INCHES IF NOT 16.   ONLY ONE DEER AND HAVE TO SAY IT'S BEEN ODD HOW FEW DEER I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR.  IN FACT I THINK THIS WAS ONLY THE 2ND ONE I SAW.  FINALLY CAUGHT SOME ROCK BASS  AND MORE DUCKS INCLUDING A GORGEOUS FEMALE WOOD DUCK.  ALSO I HEARD THIS ANIMAL SCREAMING IT'S HEAD OFF AND WHEN I GOT HOME I SEARCHED FOR THAT SOUND ON THE NET.  PRETTY SURE IT WAS A BEAR CUB YELLING FOR MOM. 

WW2 HONOR ROLL

PLEASE VISIT THE PHOTO ALBUM AND SEE A PICTURE OF A WW2 HONOR ROLL SIGN THAT WAS JUST DISCOVERED A FEW YEARS AGO IN A BARN IN MAZEPPA.  IT WAS DONE BY FRANK DELCAMP SR AND WAS PLACED BY LYTLES STORE AT THE NORTH END OF TOWN.  WHAT A GREAT PIECE OF MAZEPPA HISTORY AND AGAIN THE PICTURE OF THE HONOR ROLL IS IN THE PHOTO ALBUM.  AS A SIDE NOTE THE SIGN WAS PUT TOGETHER AT THE LEWISBURG CHAIR COMPANY AS FRANK WAS THE SHOP FOREMAN.

2 RAINBOWS

HAD ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN THE CREEK YESTERDAY...12 IN ALL AND I GOT 2 RAINBOW TROUT.    ALSO GOT TO SEE 2 BALTIMORE ORIOLES AND THE EAGLE AGAIN.
ALSO WANT TO REMIND FOLKS THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE BRIDGE WHERE TOM STAHLEY USE TO LIVE AND THE MAIN STREET WILL BE SHUT FROM MID JUNE TO MID JULY.

MEMORIAL DAY PARADE

A WEEK LATE ON PUTTING UP THIS POST BUT WHAT A GREAT PARADE AND CEREMONY AGAIN FOR MEMORIAL DAY.   ORGANIZERS CLARENCE ROUSH AND BETH HACKENBERG CAN BE PROUD.  THE SPEAKER LINDA SNOOK SPOKE ON 4 WOMEN THAT SERVED. SO NEAT TO HEAR ABOUT WOMEN AS THEY DESERVE A PAT ON THE BACK FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO TO ENSURE OUR FREEDOMS.

BEST DAY EVER ?

MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BEST DAY EVER IN ALL MY YEARS OF FISHING BUFFALO CREEK.  I HAVE CAUGHT MORE FISH BUT NEVER SO MANY OF SIZE.  GOT 19 IN ALL AND MOST OF THE SMALLYS WERE  OVER 12 INCHES.  ALSO GOT 2 BROOKIES AND A 16 INCH PICKERAL.  AND LOTS OF WILDLIFE INCLUDING THE EAGLES FLYING OVERHEAD.

MEMORIAL DAY

JUST A REMINDER THAT THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE AND CEREMONY IN MAZEPPA IS MAY 25TH AND STARTS AT 6:00.  KIDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR BIKES AND WAGONS AND JOIN IN THE PARADE.
