If any bees ventured out here today, they got blown over to the next County, or into Canada….

Sure. The best fishing of the year was about 3 weeks ago, when steelhead, walleye and black horse suckers are all up spawning. The walleye are out of season so they have to be released, but fun to catch. The suckers in the spring actually eat pretty good if you score the meat every 1/4 inch down to the skin. Or can them. Steelhead are great fun to catch and eat pretty good too. Have JP bring up some blackened seasoning, cause I think they eat the best blackened.

Also bring all the down and/or woolen clothes you have. It is still dang cold out then.

The fall, mid September to mid October is when the salmon run and that is fun too, but they are dying and are really concerned with getting their one piece of tail in their lifetime, rather than fighting the other person at the end of the line. I am getting soft hearted and hardly fish them anymore, not wanting to disturb their last chance at some fun. :-D

I was more thinking of shaving my head and coming to FL and call myself Scott's older, fatter brother and helping with some swarms and cut-outs. :-D

Thx.

More snow for tomorrow, eh.

That looks like prime black morel area by your hives. ;) This might be one of those years when you can go out and find black phallic symbols sticking out of the snow. :-D
