LOL Of course I fell horizontally and filled my chest waders and gauntlets. Still, for the last of four checks on the lake it was a decent catch; eight beaver and two nutria from 22 traps. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

We got 12°F right now going to be single digits tonight High pressure system locked in right now. Lows in the bottom half of the 30's and highs around 50F. Water temperature is pretty chilly. I would guess mid to low 40's. I'LL TAKE THAT OVER OUTBOARD MOTOR TROUBLES ANYDAY! My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
