"A little bit in the hatch every day adds up to a lot" is the saying I am reminded of at present, and at our current pace, we will be in fine shape if we can keep the ball rolling. This can be easier said than done however, especially with the present dynamics in this area, but, at the very least, the weather and time are still on our side.

Sure enough, after a morning spent getting relocated while weeding through schools of thirty to one hundred pound fish, we hit the right one...... Read More
