We've had the opposite problem here, Monk! Water levels have been dropping since late May, no rain at all. There's no cover along the shore lines. Trolling deep water lures along the bluffs and catfishing at night, has been about it this summer. Tough year so far, but maybe fall will see a turn around. Fishin' season ain't over yet!! ::tu::

So I was out walking in the woods this morning, and came across this tree that was chewed up pretty good by a beaver, so of course I thought it would be a good opportunity to stick a knife in there and take a pic...then I remembered that I had visited that same location back in January and had snapped some pics then when the damage was fresh. Anyway, thought I'd post them up here, just for fun... (first and last pics are the same tree!)

Thanks Tim and Scott ::tu::

My wife recently put those together for me to hang in my home office. It sure doesn't help me stay on task instead of planning a fishing trip. It's starting to cool off and I can hear 'em chasing bait fish in my sleep ::drool::

I know that tune well Scott.

When worst comes to worst and the day is getting long it changes to "here fishy, fishy, fishy". After seeing your pics of that mud bass (carp), i think you''ve been known to sing that tune as well. Anything that'll pull your string is better than getting skunked any day ::tu:: Not to mention those nice pics of your bucket mouths. 8)

Nice Doe OH!

Big Game hunting is in full swing here in Nevada. I didn't draw any tags this year. I put in for Elk, Mule Dear and Antelope. My son drew and filled 2 tags, one for Antelope and one for Mule Dear.

Here is his Mulie he got yesterday, What a buck!!! 160 yards (a short shot hunting around here), heart shot. This young man sure knows how to hunt.
