Latest spring we've seen in many years, but things have started to move along now.

Chromers abound.

A good day in May. Warm and summer like, but still May. Plenty on the go lately, including some tasty black morels, a couple more steelhead, and good times with family and friends.  hells yeah !

Beautiful, crisp saturday morning on the river yielded several gorgeous fish...some that had spawned, others fresh from the lake. just me and the water obsessed Boykin and spring steel...good times.

Finally took the Neilson Blunt out for a slide. Jetted down for an after work evening session of glassy spring waves. Perfect for the inaugural voyage. Surfed it in its quad form, even though it would have been fun to switch it up to the 8'' single fin. Floaty, responsive, wave magnet. Love it.

I'll admit i didn't spend very much time taking photo's. Hardly any actually. Pretty intent on being in the water. Some good friends, smiling faces and some fun waves.

I was out for a run the night of April 6th when i noticed the full moon just cresting the head of the sleeping giant. UNREAL!...I mean unreal. Of course i kicked it up about three notches and high tailed it for home to grab my camera and the tripod. Unfortunately i didn't run fast enough, as the moon had already made its way well enough up into the night sky that it didn't appear as amazingly huge as it had 20 minutes earlier. A couple snaps anyways.



Doing my rain dance tonight in hopes of some rain and that the rivers will once again flow like they shoudl in the month of April along the Superior northshore. No snaps of any of the chromers as of late, since they have all been caught on short solo missions where i have failed to swing the fish into where i had my pelican case tucked in on the bank.

However, here's a hefty walleye that we sampled, tagged and stuck a radio transmitter in, while at work today.

Our little apple tree spat out a lot of blossoms this spring. If it produces half as many apples, we'll still be talkin.


n's homemade bagels...yum.


Cruisin' out on Nipigon Bay to do some night work on the lake.


Sampling some coaster brook trout at 02:30 in the morning. Fun times.

Fish are nice.


Spring smelt fest.

Rummaging through photo's. This one from a foggy spring morning, spent slinging rocks in the river with Oskar.

Finally an update. I'll admit, more time outside than sitting in front of the computer screen dorkin with blogs and photos. It's just that time of year. Still jacked about seeing U2 last sunday in Winnipeg. That was quite the show to share. Rock stars or not, their music has resonated with me since i was a kid and continues to give me the shivers..particularly live. hell yeah!

A big dirty steelhead in clear water.

Engineering at its finest.




be well.

Spring

A flock of cedar wax wings hung out at the back of the yard this afternoon, swooping down to feed on last years crab apples over at the neighbors. The whole flock probably numbering 30 or more. Along with the robins and the flowing rivers, providing a sure sign that spring is under way.


The precursor to sundays thunder and lighting, was the blast of hail that came through. Largest i've seen in a long time. These would hurt.

hmm. been a few days. warm weather, no rain and very little water in the rivers. At this point we need some serious April showers to ease the situation. Perhaps mother nature will pull through and balance out this abnormally dry year. Surf to be had for those who are on it. Finished some more carving projects lately and plugging away at tying up some new flies.

A couple from the last few days.
