MAYBE THE BEST DAY EVER

HIT THE CREEK TODAY AND MAYBE THE BEST DAY EVER. GOT 8 AND EVEN A PICKERAL AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN ONE OF THEM IN MAZEPPA IN OVER 25 YEARS.
KINGFISHER, TURTLES, MERGANZER, SCARED A DEER, CRAYFISH ALL OVER, CEDAR WAXWINGS AND MUCH MORE. IF THAT AIN'T HEAVEN TELL ME WHAT IS. ALMOST HEAR JOHNNY DENVER SINGING.......ALMOST HEAVEN......WEST MAZEPPA...

WILDLIFE AT BUFFALO CREEK

OUT YESTERDAY AND ALSO THIS MORNING TO FISH. ONLY CAUGHT 5 OVER THE 2 DAYS BUT THE WILDLIFE.......QUITE THE VARIETY. SAW THE MERGANZER AND THE BABIES......BALTIMORE ORIOLE.....FOX SQUIRREL AND A MINK. THE CRAYFISH ARE FINALLY OUT AND ABOUT AND TONS OF FRESHWATER OYSTERS. ALSO THE BLACK DRAGONFLIES ARE ALL OVER TOO. WITH THE WEATHER NEAR 90 IT WAS A GREAT WEEKEND TO BE IN THE CREEK.

DEER

WENT FISHING AGAIN TODAY AND........BINK WENT ALONG. NO SOONER IN THE WATER AND 3 DOE WADED ACROSS THE CREEK. NOT SPOOKED AT ALL AS THEY STOOD AND LOOKED AT US AND SLOWLY MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE WOODS. AS FOR FISHING I ONLY CAUGHT 2 BUT THE DAY WAS PERFECT FOR WADING IN THE CREEK........ABOUT 90. SAW LOTS OF WILDLIFE AND MOMMA MERGANZER WAS WATCHING OVER THE AREA I THINK SHE HAS HER NEST.

2010 PARADE

WELL THE 2010 PARADE WAS JUST WONDERFUL. AND WHAT A CROWD THAT CAME OUT TONIGHT. NICE GROUP OF FOLKS IN THE PARADE THIS YEAR TOO WITH BETH IN THE MG ESCORTING SPEAKER JOHN DEPPEN. HUBBY CHARLIE WAS IN THE 4 WHEELER AND HAD TO LOVE THE TROESTER GANG WITH THE MILK PROMOTION BANNER. JOHN HAD A SUPER MESSAGE AND MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTO ALBUM TO SEE PICTURES FROM THE PARADE.

FISHING

GOT OUT YESTERDAY AND TODAY FISHING AND CAUGHT 6 YESTERDAY & JUST ONE TODAY.
BUT I AM STILL TRYING TO LAND THE WHITE FISH I KEEP SEEING IN THE ONE SPOT I FISH AND ACTUALLY HAD IT HIT MY LURE TODAY. MY ONLY GUESS IS IT'S A PALOMINO TROUT. BUT THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT IS TO LAND IT. DID HOOK A BROOKIE TODAY BUT JUMPED OFF JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO GRAB IT SO.......IT DOESN'T REALLY COUNT. THE MERGANZERS WERE OUT TODAY AND SAW 4 ADULT FEMALES. BACK OUT TONIGHT FOR THE PARADE AND LOOK FOR PICTURES ALONG WITH ONES I TOOK THIS WEEKEND OF PLANTS ALONG BUFFALO CREEK.
