Taking time to 'smell the roses'


When Sam and I get away from camp for an hour or so in the evening we aren't always beating the water to a froth fishing.
We frequently pay attention to little features along the shoreline such as this patch of bluebell flowers growing on a rocky island.
I've also discovered something else this summer. The wind stirs up the lake water bringing the cold water down below to the surface. The air in these places feels like it is air-conditioned. In one instance I had to motor to a different location because it was just too chilly for bare arms.
My experience is that fish don't appreciate the chilly temp. They hit best where the water is warmer.
