    Hey Shig,

    YES! Those things are huge! Nasty.

    They've sure got a good gig hanging on that bridge and
    eating anything that comes through.

    SHig is born as a different spider every other lifetime. Didn't you know?

    Default Big ant !

    Shig,

    That's a carpenter ant if you didn't already know. They're worse than termites for destroying wood and it doesn't have to be contacting the ground. We had them at our cabin and cost me a bundle to get rid of them and repair the damage.

    Yikes! Where should I look for them? Maybe some WD-40 and a zippo?

    The bad news is, if you have one carpenter ant, you have more around.
    The good news is, they get wings in a couple weeks up here.
    Trout really love 'em. Start tying now.....
    On a low flow year fishing them dry is good. This year, tye them to drown (heavy).
