River Day 07/20/2015

 
 
Hey, two posts in the same month! We're on a roll now!  Another great River Day this week (are there any bad ones?) celebrated by a full crew: Kevin, Pat, Jay, Tim, Ted and myself.  The day was mostly sunny with temps in the low/mid 80's.

The river level was still up, compared to the usual level for this time of year, due to heavy rains over the last several days...okay weeks...maybe even months.  In case no one's noticed, it's been a wet summer.  We were still able to get in some fishing, just not in the usual spot.  Tim, Jay and I caught a handful of sardines while Ted looked on and kept us company.  It was more like a night crawler smorgasbord for the fish the way we were feeding them.  But the few we did catch were still fun.

Freddy came down to catch up on the week's conversation, but he didn't stay as long as normal.

We did get in one little project this week: taking down the old flag that weathered the winter.  The bottom was frayed quite a bit and it had started to split up the middle.  Kevin said it was starting to look like a pair of pants.  Ted and I got the wire untangled enough to let it down and it was properly disposed of, closely supervised by Kevin.  We'll get a new used one to put back up as quickly as possible.

Despite the warm weather, we had the best fire on the rive (naturally), but only because the flag needed to be taken care of.  Then again, we'll take any excuse we can to build a fire!

Happy River Day to Rivertarians everywhere!
