John Sage lends me his 14’ Jon boat to take out to Lonesome Birch Lake – turns out the “lake” is pretty low and weedy, shorelines mashed by cattle. Oh well, give it a shot in the dugout section – no luck with buggers, clousers, so try ol’ Rick’s Mink – and it works! Land 2, about 13”, lose a bigger one. Highlight is Tar tipping me over into the slough! Vange later sez the fish were “delicious”…(she’s a good cook)
Further weather note: other than a freak snowstorm in mid September, it’s been abnormally warm – typically 26 ° when average is 15 or so.
