Fishing Anyone?

Roger and I have found a new love....fishing on the Missiouri River at Ft.Rice, ND. It doesn't matter if it is warm or cold, you can find us along the banks of the river fishing two to three nights a week. The good life! Tonight it was so cold I had on two pairs of pants, two shirts, two coats, a scarf, ear coverings and a winter hat, plus my gloves, and snow boots. You can see in the picture below I look a little thick around the middle with all the layers.(That's my excuse and I am sticking to it!)





Tonights Catch! I caught this all by myself. It is a 5.5 lb Walleye. You would be so proud of me, I bait my hook with minnows, reel in the fish, and even get it off the hook. But I let Roger do the dirty work of gutting the fish. We are having so much fun. You can have two fishing poles going at once when fishing in North Dakota.


I must admit it makes me a little sad when I realize I have caught a mother fish and she is full of eggs. There are over a million eggs in her two sacks. Below is a picture showing those sacks and the eggs inside of them.





Post note about this blog day - This morning I woke up at 5:45 am to get ready for a trip to Bismarck for a Colonoscopy. So, that explains the no make up look for the day.
