Thursday 8 May 2008
Here it is Thursday already. The week is flying by. I went exercising everyday except on Wednesday , when I went fishing instead. Not as much exercise value but I got a l;ittle activity reeling in all those fish! No not really. We almost pulled our lines in without a bite when all that changed in a hurry. We had noticed some fish activity on the surface of the Dvorsak reservoir so I removed all my weight from my kokanee troll. I was rewarded with a bite and after a brief battle a 10 inch kokanee came in the boat. Hurrah! We are not skunked. It is always a relief to get hat first fish into the boat and avoid going home empty handed. Duane quickly adapted as I reeled in another fish and he adjusted his line. In the next hour we boated a total of 22 nice kokanee. They are now in the smoker at Duane's house. I hope to sample them next week. I promised that the next batch would be for barbequeing at Ralph's house. Duane and I will go next week when I get to feeling like it.
I went mushroom hunting on Tuesday but didn't have any luck. I found too much snow out at Johnson Mill so I went up the Upper Wells Bench road. I took a short hike but the ground was very dry and no mushrooms. I emailed my friend from the forest service to get a lead on mushrooms but he hadn't heard of any yet. It is getting late but the weather has been so cold that it is really early. There is a lot fo snopw at the higher elevations so it will be very late before we find any mushrooms up there. I will have to concentrate on fishing and maybe trade so fish for some later.
i washed the truck today. I will take it to Lewiston tomorrow. It isn't suppose to rain until Saturday! I went grocery shopping but the good produce sale doesn't start until tomorrow! Oh well.
