Garry2Rs Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hello from sunny Arizona. The weather here is great, about 85 today. It might cool off by Christmas, but with a 6 to 8 week winter, how bad can it get? Glad to hear that the big snow storms have missed you, at least so far. I guess you know that snow collapsed the roof on the Minnesota Vikings home field... Buck and I are doing a little trout fishing in a nearby pond and have been out in the boat a few times for bass. Friday we caught four "stockers" in the pond. We also caught a tiny LMBass while looking for Crappy. This morning, we went over to the trout-pond again for 90 minutes, but the bite was off. When we got up, it looked slightly overcast, but by the time we got going, the clouds were gone and it was another "bluebird" day. Since it's not far away, when it didn't workout, we came home to watch football. Buck had a long play in the water, so he is quite happy. He's now asleep on the floor, waiting for supper-time...grin. We think of our friends in Ontario every time we open the freezer. Stay warm! Garry2R's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 85 feels more like 8.5 Here in Kleinburg we got rain/snow all day, they say it will flash freeze overnight and my drive downtown is all down hill. . Not a good time to have my 4 x 4 Jeep in the garage for the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks for reminding us what we are missing... We got about 4 inches of snow up until I had my nap...too dark to see if we got more... Too wet for the blower I'm thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry2Rs Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Trout ponds in Arizona, I never would have imagined..... There are hundreds of miles of irrigation canals. Most have fish in them. In the larger cities there are parks with ponds for fishing and water play etc. These ponds generally have bass, and are stocked with Channel Cat's during the 10 hot months. In the "winter" many of these recreation areas are stocked with Rainbows. There is no carry over because the trout die once the water temperature gets too high. The pond near my place is out in the desert, and the Osprey catch as many of the trout as the locals, but it's all good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
