Not much to report in the way of fish, except for seeing a few carp and a smallie hiding under a log. Could not entice them out. Was worth it for the exploring. Matt, John and Sam and me spread out all over the area. Did get to see 14 deer come out of the sparse woods and head across a field. John spotted a couple of coyotes. Muskrats, one with a fish to take home. We did see two other smaller groups of deer, but I'm assuming that was all of them when the 14 took off.
Not many photos today, but the beavers were sharpening their teeth on a fallen limb of the biggest willow tree I've ever seen. Heard years ago that the active ingredient in aspirin comes from the inner lining of the bark of willows. Not feeling good while out on the water, peel off some willow bark and chew on the inside lining.
Maybe the beavers know this and had a headache.
