Another great spring-time night at the river this week! Jay, Ted and I made it down to enjoy the warm weather and company.
Despite some pretty strong winds early on, the temperature was in the upper 70's. Jay broke out the shorts for the occasion. It's really just nice not having to bundle up like an Eskimo. The water level was pretty high this week from heavy rains over the weekend, but we were still able to fish some (Jay and I anyway). The water line was about half way up the yard at the camp, but it was receding while we were there. There's always good stuff to feed to the fire when that happens. The photo of Jay shows him holding one of the two fish that was caught; one by him, one by me, both suckers (the
fish, not us). Oh well, they still count.We haven't had dinner at the river for a while, so I decided to bring down some dogs. Since the grill hasn't made it down yet for the summer, we cooked them the old fashioned way - over the fire on the pitchfork! Hot dogs just don't get any better than that.
We might not have had the biggest fire on the river this week...but it was the best one to cook on.
Looks like a helgramite race, doesn't it?
