38

FINALLY GOT BACK IN THE CREEK AFTER WEEKS OF ON AND OFF RAINS...GLAD I DID AS WE GOT 3 INCHES OF RAIN AGAIN THE OTHER NIGHT.  ANYHOW I HIT THE CREEK ABOUT 6:30 LAST SATURDAY  AND MY TALLY WAS 38 IN ALL WITH A BONUS OF SEEING ONE OF THE BALD EAGLES AND 6 DOE.  A GREAT MORNING IN THE CREEK.

BOOKS FOR THE LIBRARY

WAS PLEASED TO ADD SEVERAL BOOKS TO THE CHILDRENS LIBRARY AT THE MAZEPPA UNION CHURCH.  RECENTLY WENT TO THE MILTON LIBRARY'S BOOK SALE AND FOUND SOME THAT WOULD REALLY FIT OUR COLLECTION IN MAZEPPA.
ALL GET BERT'S NAME IN IT.

2 DAYS TO REPORT

GOT OUT SATURDAY TO FISH AND GOT 23 IN ALL.  THE BLUE HERONS HAVE TO BE MAD AT ME FOR MAKING THEM MOVE UP AND DOWN THE CREEK.  SAW A SCARLET TANGER AGAIN AND ONE OF THE FISH WAS A REAL NICE SMALLEY.
SUNDAY I GOT IN THE CREEK ABOUT 6 AM AND SURPRISINGLY THE ONLY DEER I SAW WAS A LITTLE FAWN.  GOT 20 IN ALL AND A REALLY NICE SMALLEY THAT WAS JUST SHORT OF 14 INCHES.  NICE VARIETY BOTH DAYS AND EVEN GOT A PICKERAL.

THURSDAY AND SATURDAY

WILL COVER 2 DAYS OF FISHING IN THIS POST.  WAS OUT THURSDAY AND GOT 20 INCLUDING A BROOKIE AND A BROWN TROUT.  SAW 2 OF THE BALD EAGLES TOO.
TODAY I GOT 25 AND SAW THE IMMATURE BALD EAGLE.
WATER SURE FELT GOOD THE LAST 2 TRIPS OUT TO THE CREEK WITH THE 90 PLUS TEMPS.

WONDERFUL DAY YESTERDAY AT CAMP VICTORY IN MANY WAYS.  THE PAST 2 YEARS THE MAZEPPA UNION CHURCH HAS DONATED THE PROFIT FROM THE HAM AND EGG SUPPER TO CAMP VICTORY AND  THE CHECK WAS DELIVERED YESTERDAY BY RICKY PHILLIPS.  ALSO  FRED KELLER CAME ALONG AND I WAS DELIGHTED TO GIVE A TOUR OF THE GROUNDS TO RICKY AND FRED.
