Well when I got to fishing...the babies were out in force. What do I mean?
First, I was wading around some rocks...and I almost stepped on a baby duck. I suppose this little duckling got separated from it's mom...because there were no other ducks in sight. He was just chillin' next to the rock, swimming circles around it, even at times hopping on top to take a breather. I was going to "help" him out, but he seemed okay, so after about 5 or 10 minutes of hanging out with Donald Jr., I went on my way...

...and prompty ran into another baby...but this time on the end of my line!

| It's like a trout, but miniature... |
Now kids are fun and all, but I needed to start finding parents...or at least older brothers or sisters...luckily, it didn't take too long...

A nice way to unwind after a hectic work week.
Sweet shot on the duckling! Starting to see fawns around here. Nice job on the fishies, too, I should say. Glad to see you maximized your window of opportunity. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThe little ones are fun too. Easy to catch for an "old man".

The colors that are starting to show on that first brown, wow. He's going to be a beauty in a year or so.
ReplyDeleteNice trout.
Nice little fishies Mike
ReplyDeleteGood luck duck. He'll need it I fear.

ReplyDeleteAs long as it doesn't become a meal for something else, I agree. Valley turns out some pretty fish.
@Cofisher
ReplyDeleteThanks...I specialize in sub 3" trout.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I was really torn on what to do with him. He wasn't struggling, but clearly lost. I didn't see his Mom anywhere. If I did I would have used my landing net to scoop him up and reunite them. I hope he found her.
