No fish, only fur!

[tbayboy]

Decided to beat the heat by putting on plastic overalls (waders) and strolling down the Grand River for a bit yesterday - yeah that was a bit toasty. The fishing was pretty much dead - 2 rock bass and one smallie not much bigger than the rockies but when I looked over at the shore I got a little shore side entertainment watching 2 minks playing in the water that I thought I'd share.

 

 

Sorry for the lousy camera shot (full zoom on a point and shoot)

Nice stuff! The local mink population seems to be on the rise, if the road kills I've been seeing are any indication. Must mean the water quality is getting better.

I love wading for bass on the Grand as well. At this one spot I hit, I nearly always see minks on the far bank while I'm fishing. Nice to enjoy, particularly when the fishing is slow. Thanks for posting that Tbay.

right on, minks are interesting critters, highly curious...often saw them carp fishing in the otonabee in ptbo, they would actually come up with me sitting there and sniff my rod handle, fish slime I guess...cool video
