As some of you may have guessed - the Miller couple has figured out that with these scenes less than 22 miles from the house, active fishing licenses and busy work weeks....life is good when you can go somewhere to get the heck out of dodge. Not that we mind "dodge" but after slaving away weekend after weekend on the house for the past 3 years, we feel that our time off is earned. The scene above is at the top of the breaks, looking across badlands type territory. The lake lies in the canyon bottom, below that main butte. The photo below is what the view is like at the lake elevation. Our fishing spot is bankside, down a winding grade of 20-30%. We once led the folks from Indiana that are building a vacation home on our road down the route and the reaction was priceless as they got out of their vehicle. The wide-eyed wife turned to Eric and said: "You mean you take your pregnant wife DOWN THIS?!" We couldn't help but grin. :)
Eric surveys the area, looking for the best Northern Pike hangouts. Again, we were skunked on pike but the group pulled out some good looking walleye and Anne's normal gathering of teeny weenie wallayes (thrown back) and goldeneye (cut bait).
Yes, this is a picture of "grass." However, it is also a test to see if our dear friend Mary has gotten the chance to read our blog lately. Inside joke that is sort of sad to explain, but the guist of it involves an herbicide ad we both find mysteriously funny...especially when we are on crop tours when we are supposed to be quiet and suddenly find ourselves snickering like little kids.
