Thoughts and Prayers to Oklahoma City and Surrounding Area

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in and around Oklahoma City.  The devastation is overwhelming.  The stories of heroism coming out of that horror are so touching.  And, there will be more heroism that will never be known.

As a retired Law Enforcement office, I feel for the emergency rescue people who are trying beyond human endurance to find and rescue as many as they can. Most are suffering themselves from loss of their own homes or worry about friends and family.  Or both.

I wish there were some magic words at this time, but there just is none.

What Happened to Spring Fishing???

I am a big fan of fishing, mostly with my Dad.  From a boat or from shore, doesn't matter.  I fish mostly Lake Koshkonong and Rock River.  I do a little fishing in the Stoughton ditches in the spring. Fishing opened this past weekend.  I usually have a little fishing in before the season opens-just the legal fish to catch that early.

But, this year, I have had nothing.  The Rock River and Lake Koshkonong has been off-limits due to the high water for a boat.  Even the shores are slushy.  

My Dad is a frequent checker of "Lake Links" and seems like nobody is doing any good fishing in Rock or Jefferson counties.

If anyone has heard of some good fishing from shore, let me know.  I will keep it secret!!
