No Fish, No Where, No How, No Way

[John H]

I could probably go out there and find a fish right now but opportunities are not good and it hardly seems worth doing. I expect I will get motivated soon but in the meantime the bird photography the last couple of weeks has been good. It is nice to have two hobbies so when one is down maybe the other is up. Bird photography and fishing are not that different. Do your research, know your gear, know your spots and sneak around trying to figure out where they are and what they are up to. When you see one in a good spot you better take your shot before he sees you and flies off or swims off. If it works you come home with a good memory and maybe a good photo.

Tight lines and good birding.

Hermit thrush. Impossible to find in the forest but he landed about 15 feet from me in my backyard.
