Who's ready for some fishing?

[Neal]

Weird. Yours don't have magnets!

I have to tell this story on Neal. He went fishing a while back, but after a short time, he ran out of worms.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a cottonmouth water moccasin with a frog in his mouth.

"Frogs are good bass bait," he thought to himself."

Knowing the snake couldn't bite him with the frog in his mouth, he grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in his bait bucket.

Just then, he realized he had a problem, how was he going to release the snake without getting bitten?

He was suddenly inspired as his gaze happened onto his almost-full bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey.
He grabbed the whisky bottle and poured a some whiskey in its mouth.

The snake's eyes rolled back and he went limp. He tossed the moccasin into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, he felt a nudge at his foot.

There was that same snake with two more frogs in his mouth.

Life is good in the South.

I took my oldest up to about 9200’ on a tributary of the South Saint Vrain River. The fish are small, but the place is one of my favorites. We were picking wild strawberries on the short hike in.

I will be plagiarizing this!

My grandson CJ pulled some lunkers outta our creek today

All catch and release because at 14 he’s a sportsman.

Some fun from Turquoise Lake (near Leadville, CO) and the South Saint Vrain River in the Indian Peaks Wilderness).

I also hooked what looked to be a 16+ inch brook trout this morning, but it got away.

I caught my first cutthroat trout (a Colorado River Cutt) east of the Continental Divide yesterday, in Glacier Creek in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Caught six nice little brook trout from one of my favorite small mountain creeks on Sunday. It was much cooler up there than the 97 it was here. I also feasted on wild raspberries and apparently just missed seeing a moose with her calf.

These are from a couple of small creeks near Ely NV.

I was out tent camping with my oldest son this weekend. The brook trout in South Saint Vrain Creek made for some good fun.
