   Hi All
  </div> 
  <div>
   Last evening was so nice the canoe wanted to go for a paddle on the river.
  </div> 
  <div>
   It was delightful - a little breeze until the sun went down then still.
  </div> 
  <div>
   We went up to Turnback Pool where we stopped to get the kinks out
  </div> 
  <div>
   of our legs. Need pay attention to our age!
  </div> 
  <div>
   Just at the pool there is a little bar which is convenient to pull out at.
  </div> 
  <div>
   The grass is high along the river and a good hatch of midges was flying&#160;along the bank.
  </div> 
  <div>
   They were a light yellow - something like a Yellow Sally but I have no idea as to species.
  </div> 
  <div>
   Big Dragon flies were feasting on them. Just like seagulls enjoying French fries!
  </div> 
  <div>
   I kind of felt sorry for the midges but I guess they ate something on the ways to
  </div> 
  <div>
   being flies! A couple of times a fish grabbed a dragon fly - the cycle of life!
  </div> 
  <div>
   The river bottom is composed of small stones at that spot and continually changes.
  </div> 
  <div>
   A wayward stump will hook on the bottom and it will cause the river flow to gouge out a pool.
  </div> 
  <div>
   The small stones are like a carpet moving slowly down river. The water level is reasonably
  </div> 
  <div>
   high for early September. About the first of July when the river level is low it is common to see
  </div> 
  <div>
   a kettle of Lamprey Eels in the gravel. An active sight.
  </div> 
  <div>
   Enjoy September
  </div>
