Enjoying the hot, humid Minneapolis St Paul

Greetings to you all! We're here at the lovely abode of my sister Malia and Jim's house ... enjoying some hot, humid weather ... with an occasional tornado warning. Its been a pleasant day out on the St. Croix river, canoeing and finally breaking in my new fly rod! Boy oh boy was I excited! Sure enough those trusty rods from the ruby valley hold up to their world known reputation! Caught 5 fish today, only kept two ... a couple of nice small mouthed bass, not to be confused with small fish ... they were about 15" long and weighed about 8 lbs each! Yippee! Good times, and thanks to ole Jimbo for showing off his great fishing holes!

I wanted to share our great adventure today. We're in the process of cooking those little gems right now! Its been an adventurous time from Custer, SD to here. We'll be sure to post all about it here pretty quickly!

Cheers to all! And if you can ... GO FISHING!

Animals seen today alone : 4 bald eagles, 20 blue herons, couple of momma and fawn deer, and a big a** turtle
