rain fishing on the river

Some really good rain finally came to the ozarks this weekend and as I write this the last band of yellow and green on the radar appears to be overhead. The sky is colorful and it is still raining over us, I had to take that picture!

We ignored the rain today and went to the river to check out a new to us access/pull out on the James River for a canoe trip hopefully soon. It looked good so I think it is a go. The water level is really low but this part of the river ends in a lake so this is the best area for floating right now.

I am not an avid fisherman, I like to go and playfish sometimes but mostly I would rather look at rocks, people, animals, and a book. No worm and fish guts for me thanks. I will fry it later though. Mostly today I watched SuperDude fish and read a book and took photos of things I liked.

The rain was very light mostly and would come and go in waves. Later it got bright and sunny and so pretty there on the river.

 

 Sometimes I think I would like to live next to water but I think in truth, I prefer our safer pond to the potential flooding of the river. Please send love to everyone facing hurricane Isaac this week, we need more rain but no one needs flooding.
