Hi All Yesterday evening was perfect for some late summer trouting. The water is at a good level and is cooler than can ordinarily be expected at this time of year. Perfect temperature, no wind, no bugs and lots of eager trout - what more could an angler wish? BB and I went to a stillwater. The maples are turning but there has been no frost yet. The asters and smartweed were blooming to provide a little color other than red or green of the big pines. There was a considerable number of warblers and sparrows in the bushes beside the stream. Also a Barred Owl was calling softly - like "whrrrr". Big dragon flies were depositing their eges on the water. Oviposting or something like that I've heard it called. Anyway the trout were trying their best to have them for supper - no success as far as I could tell. One trout had developed an unique form of feeding that I should tell you about. Unique to me at least. It swam along the weeds by the edge of the water and would jump up into the weeds to grab an insect. Saw it do that several times - a typical NS brookie about 25 cms. Have a nice summer - visit a stillwater! Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
