Two days ago I sent out an email that the fishing at my place is open for business. Things aren't perfect, but they are good enough.



Two sets of fishermen showed up today, the first set (above) was the guide Wallace, who brings clients here frequently.

I walked over to where they were checking out the upper end of my property, and our annual quartet of Canadian geese were over there keeping them company. Geese are so silly, and this group does not seem to be afraid of people at all.







The second guy said he was new to fishing, so I sent him to the area where I can see hundreds of trout just hanging around. He stayed over there the rest of his time here, so either he was catching them, or not, and didn't want to quit trying.

The other day, waiting for a highway flagman to give us the go-ahead, I had time to photograph this formation in the canyon. That formation looks so lonely, doesn't it? See the fresh landslide just below it? What if more of the soil had washed away? Would the base fan out, or is it a skinny column all through the mountain, like a chimney?
