Ducks!
Ducks landed in the pond today!
Ok, so the edge of the pond has some open water, but it attracted a couple large adult ducks to come for a swim. It was nice to see them. It has been hitting 50-60 here lately during the day, with sun, yet there is still ice! The ice is very dark (meaning it's quite thin) but still out there. Maybe I should take the canoe out and do some ice breaking, haha. I went to a river today and made some casts but the current was very strong at the edge, and I couldn't get in any good casts. ??? Ah well. Here it comes! |

Re: Ducks!
I can't believe you guys still have ice. It has been in the 80's here for a week. Not trying to rub it in, just wondering how you deal with that. Ugh. It gets below 40 here and we start complaining about the cold.
I guess the tradeoff is when I am fishing in 105 degree heat in July/August, I will be wishing I was up there were it is somewhat cooler. |

You don't know cold till you spend a month in Canada or Maine, during THEIR winter. Lone does like to do some winter sports, which is a nice addition, especially being from up there. Snow skiing can be a blast, and sitting in a hot tub, in the snow is, is pretty AWESOME also But I prefer to VISIT those places, and live where you can fish year round ;D Only problem I don't live in either place, :-/ Lizards |

Yeah, I get what your saying. Â*Especially living in somewhere like that is sometimes a drawback. Â*But whenever I do stuff in the outdoors like go camping, I'd rather have things always be a bit risky and unsafe. Â*Sure I use reliable equipment and try to be smart about things, but its always fun when there is some risk involved. Â*You know, stuff like jumping off of waterfalls into deep pools, or swinging on ropes 30-40ft in the air, or rock climbing. Stuff that seems dangerous, but usually is really safe. Â*If you couldn't tell, I can be an adrenaline junkie petty often. |

Re: Ducks!
Ducks are nice but the goose poop around the lakes where i fish...yuck. The geese are nesting now, They get pretty nasty protecting their nests. But the little babies are nice to watch when the fishing is slow.
