FIRST TWO TRIPS OF 2013
Very easy to sum up the first time I went out this spring. I enjoyed lots of casting practice and no fish. This was just after the ice melted off part of the pond. About 80% of the pond was still covered with ice, but I wanted to be out.
Second time I took a friend out who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. If I take him out fishing it gives his wife a break. We went to a pond near town that is easy to walk into and not a long hike. We headed down to the dam end. I walked across the dam to hit the broad flat on the east side of the pond. Both of us made several casts in this area with nothing happening.
GREAT on you Rick!..taking Dan out. Mom suffers the same ailment, now in the latter stages. As one realizes the victim’s progressively diminishing ability to have a future and past, and realize there is only a NOW for the victim, you are a saint for making Dan’s NOW one of his best. GREAT on you Rick! …lee s.
