Last Chance

Creek, that is...

I just love the look of those meadows up there in the early spring. The willows are starting to think spring and they have the coolest yellow tinge to them. It won't be long before they turn green. My bike ride was only 14 miles but I got a late start so that's my story, and you know the rest.

I took some pictures of these pretty little flowers in the past but I had forgotten how small they were so I added a penny to give them some scale. Since the weather is supposed to turn shitty again I thought I better get out. I was intending to go fishing but some stuff in the morning gave me a slow start and the wind was starting to blow pretty good, so the bike riding seemed like a better thing to do.

Either way... it's all good.

Antelope Lake

My first day fishing at Antelope Lake this year. Man, was it windy! No, it was fucking WINDY!!! Yeah, that says it a little better. I fished for several hours before it cooled off and started clouding up and managed to catch a couple of really nice bass. The largest was a little over 2 lb, I'm guessing. Had it not been for the wind I'm sure I could have caught some more. But then, isn't that being a little over confident? You never know.

The lake is down around 6 or 7 feet from the high water mark and I hope it fills up. There is still a lot of runoff going in, so I'm hoping they let it fill up. I'll try to get up there again later this week if it warms up.
