Monkey Flower, Mimulus ringens
Mark,
Jeb and I went fishing this
low-humidity, beautiful afternoon,
and observed several
flowering
plants along the water's edge. |
 |
I need to key this plant out at work
on Monday, using my botany books.
I initially thought it to be purple
loosestrife Lythrum salicaria,
but it may be something else. |
 |
Blue Vervain, Verbena hastata |
 |
Bugleweed, Lycopus uniflorus |
 |
Arrowhead, Sagittaria latifolia |
 |
Fishing was slow but profitable.
Jeb got skunked, Mark caught 1 bass
and I caught three.
I caught
Ms. Chunkzilla from deep water using
a Yamamoto pumpkinseed colored,
soft-plastic
Kreature. She was
big-time lively, pulling line,
breaking water and trying hard to
throw the hook. |
 |
Mark poses with Ms. Chunkzilla and
we guessed her at being between 4
and 5-pounds. I broke my
Shimano Crucial rod on a two-pounder
as I worked a largemouth thru
fragrant water lily cover. |
Mark and I went to Bass Pro Shop this
evening which
honors the return of rods
purchased at Bass Pro.
I
upgraded to a 6-foot, 6-inch, medium-heavy,
fast-action St. Croix AVID,
matched to
my Shimano Stradic spinning reel. I
also bought device called Twist-Out
http://www.rogersproducts.com/
that prevents line twist as you string on
new line.
I'll let you know how it works.
