Seasons are changing -- MUD SEASON, finally!
« on: Mar 26, 2015, 04:27 PM »
We've all put up with lots of snow.


But today's warm weather finally started mud season ...


Mud is easier to walk in than 3 feet of snow!

Please excuse the language but it sums it up perfectly. How many times friends and I did this getting back into that secret brookie hole. At times I am glad I grew out of my twenties.

And when you get stuck in mud in a 4x4 truck, you are really stuck!

Not too much earth showing here yet, Rick.  It was funny.  The 50 degree air seemed to miss us when folks further north and south had it today. 

Good snow stats.  Thanks for posting, 44.

So much snow, we still can't drive to some spots we fished last year. I drilled through 32" the other day. Don't knock the dust off those rods just yet. ::)

Looked like the ice had shrunk 6" in the last few days .Same place we drilled last week was considerably thinner. I set out to measure it but got side tracked. Lot of water running down holes today.

I don't think it has anything to do with a sign of spring but I saw one of these little creatures yesterday going into Garbo lobster pound in Hancock. Amazes me how small they are. Saw whet owl.

Cool pic.  I often hear these in the fall.

This is a special time of year to be around some of our owls Late evenings and early mornings they send out their mating calls which echo around the shores of lakes and ponds everywhere . Barred Owls ,great horned, Saw Wet,   Screech owls , I have seen a Great Gray owl up north only once.
