We were fishing at the end of December so I took some pictures from the boat. I had to take one of all the pelicans hanging out on one of the breakwaters made out of tires. They use these tire breakwaters in front of the marinas to keep the boats from getting pounded by waves.
I also had to take a picture from the boat that shows the mountains in the background with snow on top. It is very strange to be fishing on open water -- in the low 60's and be able to see snow. We also helped a duck hunter by getting some ducks that were back in a canyon to fly by him. He missed.... Hunting seasons are much longer down here. Duck and deer season are still open.
We headed up into the mountains to see the snow up close and get some pictures. There was only a little bit left on the ground up there. It was in the 50's and it smelled and felt like April instead of January. Jim was hoping to see some snow melt running down the mountain and filling the dry washes. The snow seems to just evaporate -- no water rushing down -- and maybe bringing some gold down with it. At least not yet -- The mountains should be getting another 6" now and more to come so we will see what happens.

Happy New Year!
I dont think it's the lack of snow to make you question which month it is ... I rather think it is because you havent just spent the last several weeks thinking about Operating Room Inventory! : )
My husband and his fishing buddies just had their annual post New Year's breakfast to get their Lake Vermillion Fishing Opener plans rolling (actually to be held for them this year on the weekend of May 29!) ... so the count down to open water has officially begin at our house!
Happy Fishing to you both ...
