I was serious when I wrote that it was time to go fishing. Here are a few photos from my trip last week. The fishing was slow, but it was a beautiful day and my fishing partner and I had the lake to ourselves. Please don’t ask me where we were; I don’t seem to remember.
That looks great!
If it wasn’t -2 and a blizzard in EDM I might be able to try for Goldeyes on dry fly!
Thanks Brian, it was great! Hopefully the weather will improve and you’ll be fly casting in no time. Cheers!
Were you successful? It looks to be a gorgeous lake, though it must have been seriously chilly. What kind of bird is in your photo?
It was supposed to get up to 15°C that day, but I don’t think it quite made it. It was warm in the sunshine, a little cool in the shade but not bad.
The bird is a Common Loon. There were two fishing there that day and they didn’t seem overly shy about coming close to us.
Of course it’s a loon – how could I not recognize it? Silly, silly me. It doesn’t have its neck extended…perhaps that’s what fooled me (she said, scrabbling madly for excuses). đ
