Well, rat season is shaping up to suck! I was out all morning and most of my ponds are sterile. I thought I left enough last year to reproduce but I either didn't or they were wiped out by something else like disease or mink. The farmers are happy, I'm not. Time to go set my own pond (which isn't looking good either) and the swamp. It's not going to be a banner year, that's for sure.

The little chunk of swamp behind my place looks promising. It has a couple houses in it so I put out a few floats. However, somehow I pulled a groin muscle this morning, probably high stepping through the muck in my chest waders, so I haven't hit the larger swamp today, I'm going to get that tomorrow. Hopefully this isn't going to become a big deal. I don't think I pulled it bad. It only hurts when I'm high stepping.
