While indulging in the Christmas bird count last Friday, we stopped by the Hale Creek Field Station, where there are often small birds, ducks and maybe an occasional heron to be counted. Nothing but a few chickadees this year, but there sure were trout!
Wow! There sure WERE trout! Are these all wild?
ReplyDeleteFish! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I missed that part of the trip!
ReplyDeleteShoulda brought a dip net. I'm sure you could have snuck a half dozen or so out in your binocular case.
ReplyDeleteJoated is ornery.
ReplyDeleteGotta say: I'm loving this mild December. The absence of 'hard' water bothers me not the least :)
Those fish look ... delicious. Joated merely said what many of us were thinking.
ReplyDeleteWhy Rev. Paul!
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked! Shocked!
;)
WW, aren't they gorgeous? They are hatchery trout though.
ReplyDeleteFC, thanks, I just love seeing them
Lisa, sorry you missed them. They are pretty cool
Joated, really, imagine catching one like that!
Or Half a dozen. lol
Cathy, just thinkin' like a fisherman. lol I am grateful for the mild weather too. Back when old Magnum was alive and young enough to enjoy it a friend and I rode horseback all winter for about three years in a row. Hardly any snow and mild so we had a high time of it.
Rev. Paul, how could you not? Think it that is. lol. We only dream of hooking fish like that here (although we sometimes latch on to rainbows that size up at Peck's) I am sure in your neck of the woods these guys would just be minnows.
Cathy, Once a fisherman, always a fisherman...and you can't beat trout. lol
