Comments:

It was an evening fishing trip with Scott, with pike and bass on the radar. The conditions were more in line with being pleasant for fishing, but not for catching. I did not think the bite would be as good as last night, and I was right!
The fish seem to be more scattered and harder to find the higher the water goes. Most of the fish we caught were quite tight to some type of dead emergent vegetation.

Observations:

The dandelions in the yard are blooming, and the rhubarb is getting quite large. The bleeding heart plant on the north side of the house is now about twelve inches tall. I have still not seen any life from my red bud tree, and I am afraid it has not survived the brutal winter.
