Roadside Beauty

Blondie and I had to go into the big City today
couldn't be helped
Medical attention required
It is harder than one might think to be a hermit
but there is sometimes Beauty
Even along the highway

post Flag Day in Northern Minnesota

Are we ready to concede that winter is actually over ?
Or are we prepared for early snow...............

Ms Winklestien and Mr. Pike seem unconcerned what season at present

Getting fat on bluegill and perch

Catch and Cook

These sunfish are all males and all about eight inches in length and all around 6 years old. They can't compete with the biggest males in the population, for females and nest sites and nest guarding. They are on the fringes of the main action. They are the ones to catch and cook. Sustainable and delicious.
And very fly rod friendly besides all that.
