<<Trouble is mikey gets stuck baiting the hooks.>>
Does that make you the master........no, no, we won't go there. Besides, it was to easy of a set up. <g>
When we went to TX to go fishing, Bry, who used to live there (now lives in New Mexico), went out into his back yard to dig for some worms. He had told us ahead of time that these worms were gargantuan, but I was like, "yeah, right". What else would they be in TX, ya know.
WOW!! They were loooonnnnggg worms! He said they were called milkworms. They were rather opaque in color, and oh boy, were they ever long. He said the worms could reach 12" in length with no problem. I'd never seen anything like it fore or since. About 4 or 5 is all we needed (especially since we didn't catch anything)
There is a place near where I live which is a state run trout hatchery. It is a really neat place and apparently pretty old. It is called Roaring River State Park. S.J. and I like to go every once in a great while because of the stream which runs through the park. It is fun to walk along and we can take Bear, on a leash of course.
The holding area for the fish and the administrative offices look like they were built in the thirties or something. All of the holding pools and the offices are made out of native stone. I enjoy watching the huge rainbows swimming around in the pool where the larger fish are kept. It is almost like you could reach out and grab them because the water is so clear. Some of them look like they are about 2' long and could weigh up to 3 or 4 pounds. Yummy! Wouldn't that make a nice dinner.
Seeings how I don't really care to fish for trout, though, I think it is kind of funny to watch all the fishermen lining the sides of the stream for quite a ways standing almost shoulder to shoulder in weather which is pretty brisk in early March on opening day (they always seem to do a story on it for the evening news every year). These guys (and some gals) must really love to fish for trout.
Why was the Toronto exchange closed today?
Catch ya later. Stay well,
