Post The Squamscott River is ice free.
It is ice out. The hooded mergansers are fishing for smelts in open water. The water coming over the dam ranks about a five out of ten in flow.

The small patch of dirt we call our front yard is showing a green hue of fresh growing grass.

My favorite pastime turkey hunting is right around the corner. Bugs and Bass 2011 won't be far behind.

I will be looking to cure a nasty disease I came down this winter called "overweightitis".

Come on spring!

I am there with you. Took a walk in the mountains this morning and it did my soul good. Creeks were a bit high due to the recent rain but it was much needed so fishing can wait just a bit. Did see a couple desperate trout fisherman on Wolf Creek though.

Hi Caddis,
70 degrees in coastal NH yesterday. 39 degrees right now. Suppose to be in the twenties tonight.

This has been a normal winter to spring transition so far where we live. Last year the buds had already popped on the low lining bushes. It made for a jungle during turkey season.

I hope the ticks took a beating this winter. They were very bad last spring.

Does VA have ticks?
