Mack is afraid of the lake. However he really wants a duck of his own......Perhaps as an entertaining and fluffy companion. Perhaps for some much more nefarious scheme. Anyhow today while lusting after ducklings he either jumped or fell off the dock. Rescue was required. He might be a duck dog but he will never make the dock dog championships.
The lake is a calm mirror after storms all night long. Tried fishing my orange flatfish...at least 40+years old. Rock bass nailed first splash and it just keeps catch fish. Pretty amazing. Brought cracked corn for the ducks because they say crackers are bad for them. It sinks. They dive. Great fun. Decent birds. Juvie Belted Kingfisher being fed by parents. Black-and-white Warblers. Good time being haf.
Even at camp you get Mondays..... Before the sun broke the horizon there were bank issues. Then a fish tied my hook to the rope holding the boat. Another fish hooked me on about half a mile of someone elses monofilament...it went and on. The good news is....fish are biting birds are singing, loons are motor boating up the lake and yodeling like mad. I love this place!
