FISHING 2016

I HELD OFF POSTING ANYTHING ABOUT MY FISHING THIS YEAR AS THERE WASN'T MUCH TO REPORT OTHER THAN WILDLIFE I GOT TO SEE.  I HAD A LUCKY PIONEER SEED HAT THAT ONE OF MY VERY EARLY SCHOLARSHIP KIDS GAVE ME AND I NEEDED A NEW ONE AFTER WASHING IT SO MANY TIMES. WELL LINDSAY WAS AT A PIONEER CONFERENCE IN HAWAII AND BROUGHT A NEW PIONEER HAT HOME FROM THAT MEETING.  WE JOKED THAT IT MUST HAVE HAD JET LAG AS THE FIRST 2 TRIPS TO THE CREEK THIS YEAR I DIDN'T CATCH MANY. THEN ON VACATION ONE DAY I GOT 8 AND YESTERDAY MY FIRST DOUBLE DIGIT DAY WITH ME CATCHING 10.  THE ONE THING OF NOTE IS THE PICKERAL I AM CATCHING ALREADY AS THEY ARE SLOWLY COMING BACK IN THE CREEK AND SO MUCH FUN AND BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF WHEN I WAS A KID.  LOTS OF WILDLIFE THIS YEAR ESPECIALLY BIRDS AS I HAVE ALREADY SEEN ORIOLES....BLUEBIRDS.....WOODPECKERS......CEDAR WAXWINGS AND OF COURSE THE EAGLES.  A HANDFUL OF DEER SO FAR AND THE WILDFLOWERS ARE JUST GORGEOUS.  WILL PUT PICTURES OF THOSE IN THE PHOTO ALBUM SO LOOK FOR THEM
