FISHING -- Had a great time of fly fishing, hiking, game-bird finding, otter watching and trout spawning observation Tuesday at Scablands Creek.

No ticks detected, yet.  Can that be true? Is it possible?

Tips to fly fishers this week:

  • Don't bother getting up early. 
  • Cloud cover is your friend.
