River Day 03/07/2016

 

 

We had a couple of "firsts" this week at the river: first day it was warm enough to not wear a jacket, and the first time we were able to try some fishing (for me anyway).  Ted, Tim, Jay, Pat and I all made it down this week to enjoy a spring-like River Day.  Temps were in the upper 60s, with clear skies.

There's still a lot of stuff laying around to be burned from the higher water levels over the last few weeks, so finding wood wasn't a problem.  I'm pretty sure we didn't make much of a dent in the debris piles.  Eventually we'll get to getting the small stuff gathered up and burned; all of that is still pretty wet.

Jay was kind enough to bring down some gear for cooking, along with brats for dinner.  I don't believe food ever tastes better than when it's cooked over the fire.  Thanks for a nice dinner, Jay!

Jay and Ted also stopped by the store at the top of the mountain and brought down some night crawlers for fishing.  The water looked good, but we're still a few weeks early for the fish to really start biting.  You never know at this time of year; might get lucky and drop a worm right in front of one. 

We had our weekly visit from Freddy, but he didn't hang around too long this week.  Leo's camper door was open (for airing out?), but we didn't see him moving around anywhere.

Ted helped out again with a few of the pictures this week. Much appreciated!

Happy River Day!
