Hi All
This evening out along the river I came upon an old
road where a lot of scratching had gone on recently.
That is scratching on the ground. The ground is hard
at that spot and the scratchs were not very deep. It
didn't look like they were deep enough to cover the
eggs. No sign of the turtle however - it might have
moved on to another location.
There was a nice hatch of Caddis flies present. Some
nice big ones and some yellow sallies among the crowd.
The nighthawks were enjoying the feast. Flying more
over the trees tonight than previously when they were
concentrated over the water. Seemed to be more of them
also but its hard to count them. A couple of broods of
Mallards were enjoying the feast also.
Salmon parr have really grown since early spring and
are now in the 15 cm range. They were plentiful this
evening but I used a fly not to their liking so only
one made a mistake. Hard to account for taste!
The thrushes so plentiful a few days ago have
disappeared from along the river. Must be better food
elsewhere.
Have a nice summer
Paul
