After a two week hiatus, Jay and I were able to go down to the river this week; everyone else was either working or otherwise MIA.
You'd never guess we were still in the middle of winter with the weather we've had over the last few days, and Monday was no exception. We had a couple of instances of light rain, but the temperature stayed around 60 the whole evening. It was kind of nice getting to wear light weight jackets again and not have to bundle up like Eskimos. All of us have enjoyed the winter weather at the river this year(I think), but when it starts warming up like this, then you're in spring-mode and ready for the cold and snow to be gone.
We both took advantage of the break and tried fishing on an off for most of the evening. The water level was down a bit for this time of year, and unlike the air, hasn't warmed up much yet. We gave it a good try, but still came up empty handed. I'm sure another three weeks or so will change that, and trying's always fun.
Not too much activity around the camp this week. We saw a couple of the local guys, but everyone and everything was quiet. We even kept the fire down to a respectable level this week, but as I'm sure you've guessed by now, it was still the best one on the river!
Thanks for the post Mark, I like the picture you took with the "Rock". Been three weeks for me since I've been able to make it down.... Should be able to make it next Monday. I need my "Monday Night" fix !!! Hope to see everybody on Monday....
