Today could very well be on of the weirdest day I have ever experienced. I woke up early this morning to snow on the ground. Not feet, nor even inches but it was enough to complain about. It is May don’tcha know.

My dad and I decided to spend the day in southern MN trout fishing. We have done this twice before but today we wanted to find a new creek in a new area. Dad had done quite a bit of research with the maps and had some areas picked out. All the preparing in the world does no good if there is no water in the creek. We drove around to four or five creeks only to find them unfishable.

On try number six we finally found an area to catch some trout, or so we thought. In the first five minutes Dad nailed one.

We walked up-stream another mile at least and then back down to where we started. Catching nothing, but enjoying conversation. What struck me as the weird part of the day was the weather. One minute it was sunny, then next cloudy. Then the next minute it would be icing. The ice looked like sea salt with a little more size to it. Do you remember that time back in May of 2010 when it was icing while we were trout fishing? Sure do. It was the same year I got stuck in Berlin because a volcano erupted and shut down air traffic.

We continued on to another creek were Dad pulled in a small trout. As for me, the trout hate me. I think every time I get to go hunting or fishing God reminds me that those are not areas He has chosen for me to provide. At one time I spotted two trout right next to each other under a log. I positioned the worm practically on their mouth’s, and still nothing. However I enjoy being outdoors and enjoying the beauty of this land.

It turned out to be a long day and I am pooped. It is time to head to bed. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Be a blessing. Thanks All.
