I don't much care if someone heard me making the whistle like noise but I've pretty much stopped cawing loudly at ravens as I'm sure my neighbors think I'm a crazy old man (not far from reality). ;-) I have one of those plastic owls that I put up near our table grapes. Wasted $ buying it.

Yesterday afternoon I was working in the yard and heard a distinctive hawk call. I spotted a hawk and tried to mimic its call. To my surprise I heard it call back - only to figure out that it was calling to its mate. Activating the Merlin app (what a GREAT app!), I was able to identify a pair...

"forks"? Greywolf/Dungeness? Such a great picture, sure takes me back. I had a close (too close) encounter with Devil's Club up there when I was a wee one.

Warning - thread drift: For close to 30 years two of my friends would head over the pass and we'd gather at some lake that "was already open". Herb, following family tradition, had been on the wagon since New Years day - the fourth Saturday was his time to tip a few. We had some amazing...

Nice photographs, Jason. DK and I were talking yesterday about how "clouds" get in the way when carpin', well done.

Weather permitting, tomorrow is a hike in day, three miles, solo. The lake I fish has a pair of otters that I do see swimming from time to time and if I saw them swimming and I was tubing: I'd get the hell out of their way in a hurry. Now @Tim L and his ticks (gross, man!) the beaver attack...

TTT or best reasonable offer...........

TTT - or best reasonable offer

Unless @Billy has heard something "new", I don't see why the lake won't open this year. I got a kick out of @Salmo_g's post about rowing into the wind to get out and rowing into the wind to get back - So true!

I fish solo often. I do carry my cell phone but I try to lighten my carry load and a 9 mm adds a pound or two so mostly that stays home, locked up. I have a series of cards with the names of the lakes I hike into, each card has the GPS coordinates of where I'm going. I leave the appropriate...

Thread drift: "Garden-worm, which should be well scoured" Apparently the robin I saw pulling a nightcrawler out of the garden soil yesterday consumed a "garden worm not well scoured" if the dive bombed evidence left on the hood of my truck is any indication.

You certainly won't catch fish if you don't go there and fish the lake. For what LITTLE it's worth, that lake has a reputation for being stingy (which has been one factor in why I've continued my journeys further north).......

These cattle trails are deceptive; you think you're on the trail to the lake only to find a branch in the trail, then another and another..... It's better to use landmarks than cattle trails to find your way.

I like it when you get fired up.

Rod - I got quite a chuckle out of your "Very interesting! All I had to was crack the chironomid code and I should be in the fish! So, an hour later I was back to fishing the booby." If we're talking about the same lake, I fished it three weeks ago and heard the same thing "you should have...

Thanks for sharing. I've driven by this lake many times and haven't stopped. My bad.
