Snowed In? Nah.. not really.

It's fun driving the ol' green machine in the snow. (2-13-10, 6am)
I'm thankful that I have the right vehicle this year considering all the freeking snow we've had.

Headed to the ol' spot by my lonesome and - let me tell you - it was beautiful.
I was glad to be there even though it was freezing cold.

There were no signs of human foot prints in the area but I did find some animal tracks.
It seemed like the ol' river otters that I've seen during the summer were out playing in the snow.
The tracks reveal that they would walk around and then slide across the snow at times.

I'm glad that they can have a time to themselves and joyfully play in the snow.

The Trout weren't very active on this freezing cold day. The water temp was just too cold to feed. I did end up pulling this lil lady out of the water using my secrete stash of sacred bait and hooks.
I really really really should have just put her back. I need to start getting used to putting smaller trouts back into the wild. It's one thing if they're native trout, but this one was just too small - not to mention that when i gutted her, she was full of roe.

My net is pretty tech. Thanks Mike.

The views were just breath taking. I spend a lot of the summer weekends up here with my fiance' and my dog Gummo. It was nice to see it during the winter.

At the waterfall. If you come fishing with me you know this spot and can imagine the beauty.
