Friends and Big Rocks

Friends and Big Rocks

I can drive to the Superior National Forest from several different routes. My favorite is going past one massive piece of rock. It was formed by heat and pressure. The size is akin to your home for said rock. My eyes, even while driving, cannot resist to scan crevasses and small cedars clinging in a crag that cannot possibly hold soil but still supports a tree. So much for a dead lifeless rock...

Seeing Eye to I

Seeing Eye to I
When I was attempting to graduate from high school I developed what a combat medic later in life described was an I problem. He said I had the worst case he’d ever seen. The first real bad flare up, I can recall, was on a trout stream in the spring of my sophomore year...

The Fine Art of Chit Chat
The conversations I have at the deer shack have to my annual favorites. These pull up a chair chats are different than the stream side banter, for example...

Fighting Fish - Air Bags and the Bruised Ego
All this for a fish. Can you imagine all the stories that got told about one clod hopper fisherman who broke his finger when he fell trying to land a fish. Picture the words in the bubble floating like a cartoon...

The Thousand Dollar Lake
You ever have one of those wants. Mine was thirty seven years worth. I prevailed. I found the place. This lake is as much in me, as on the earth. I have thought about this lake for so long. I wanted a brook trout lake that...

My Friend Roger

My Friend Roger
Roger had the gift of telling an oral story. Roger was soft spoken and no hand waver. Rogers stories were time consuming and nostalgic. With spoken word he filled my head with the funniest pictures or the warmest memories...

Spring Trapping - Beaver Fever

Spring Trapping - Beaver Fever
The trap is definitely fired. I had a three thirty suspended on a dive stick that even a blind beaver could not miss, and he didn’t. Floating with the flat tail extended is a nice red phased spring beaver of about twenty five pounds. This is the third beav in two days out of this pond...

Coffee Shops, Old timers, and Ice Fishing
Back at the table some more locals come in and we start lying to them about where were going to ice fish. They fabricate a story as thick as the bacon on their plates and it’s off to the races. We tip the waitress and...

Camping Solitude - and Trout
It’s been all afternoon and not one other bite. I have heard the kids being called to dinner and one bout of crying from the other camp site. Daylight’s curtain is being drawn and the hint of pink from the rainbow trout is vaguely familiar in the western horizon...

Do You Remember Your Grandparents?
I was built lower to the ground, Grandpa told me that many times, so I could pick stuff up, easier for both of us. The sound of his rubber knee high boots thunkin' and thudding as he strode around the yard is a drum beat to my ears forever...

Some Fresh Air - Red Fox Style
This is the 17th set-up and I have seen zip. This is going to be my last for the day. I have snow shoed so far my legs are stiff. Lying in the cold is getting to me.   Brown ribbons where the tractors do not plow surround the fields like a fence, god made it out of cattails. I have a perch with a very wide country view...

Lake Herring Fishing on the Knife River
Knife River is a small community on the north shore of Lake Superior on the Minnesota side, between Duluth and Two Harbors. Many years ago this was a busy harbor for lake trout fisherman. Now there are only remnant families that still ply the commercial trade but are only allowed to net herring...

Get It Before It's Gone - Your time for adventure is now
You know the kind of outdoors person. They always get there buck. They limit on geese or never come back without fifty pounds of fresh harvested wild rice. You borrow the knife and its razor sharp. They look like they just stepped out of a hunting catalog, no matter the time of day. Even there sandwiches are better...

Into the Night

Into the Night
I step outside and the darkness is everything. I stand still to let my eyes adjust. Chips of starlight appear in the night sky. Underfoot is Snow and glows white, anything above ground level appears black. If I focus directly on anything the shapes melt. So I just scan the yard. Stars and snow illuminate bit by bit...
