BACK IN THE CREEK

WELL FINALLY...........BACK IN THE CREEK.  WITH ALL THE RAIN IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BACK IN THE CREEK FISHING.  BUT THIS PALES TO MY FRIENDS LIKE THE TROESTERS WHO ARE STILL TRYING TO PLANT CORN.  IN THE PAST MONTH WE HAD TO HAVE GOTTEN CLOSE TO 16 INCHES OF RAIN.  IN ONE WEEK MY RAIN GAUGE RECORDED OVER 8 INCHES......YES ONE WEEK.  BUT SUNDAY I WAS GETTING ROCKS FROM OUR OLD CREEK FIELD TO USE FOR LINING THE FLOWERBEDS AND THE WALKWAY AT OUR NEW HOME AND DECIDED TO CHECK THE CREEK AND IT WAS HIGH BUT CLEAR.  SO I JUMPED IN AND FISHED FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND GOT 16.  NICE VARIETY TOO WITH THE USUAL CHUBS...SMALL AND ROCK BASS...A FEW BLUEGILLS AND MY FIRST EVER RAINBOW TROUT.....13 INCHES AND IT WAS GORGEOUS. ALSO HAD A DOE WANDER ACROSS THE CREEK IN FRONT OF ME.  JUST A GREAT DAY IN MAZEPPA.
