Severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings here today,,, can’t go fishing,,
So I thought I’d start putting on hardware cloth on the mink boxes I built.
And finish replacing broken triggers with circle triggers and new springs.
The old style victors I had were pretty weak,,, they MIGHT kill a muskrat underwater,, but I don’t think I’d trust it to whack a mink.

Do you guys have a rainy day project you are working on??

My rainy day was Sunday.

My "project" was sitting on my boat, under the covered slip ,sorting through tackle boxes, listening to the rain on the tin roof.

I had a line in the water, but didn't catch anything. Fish just weren't interested in a bare hook.

Some of the best naps ever, happen in that situation.

We were camping at Point Farms provincial park over the long weekend here and had rain a good bit of Sunday. This is what I was working on there:

Been converting some sleepy creek 1 1/2's to mink pans

I'm working. I wish I could be just tinkering around at home.

Rain in the spring means the brown trout are feeding
Finish those projects on a full belly of baked trout and fried potatoes and onions
Nature doesn't wait, but your projects can

Instead you're just tinkering around on the bosses dime.

Yesterday I put up gallon and a half of strawberry jam . It rained most of the day.
