Wednesday was a calm sunny day with very little humidity and temps hovering at 80 degrees. Sweet. Took "Tadpole" up 20 miles from Laurens, IA (where we are staying for a month in the 5th wheel). The 1162 acre lake is 3 miles north of the little NW Iowa town of Ruthven, IA. The lake is stocked with bullheads, pike, crappie, perch, drum, large mouth bass, walleye, bluegill, catfish and a few more that I've never heard of.
All those fish and none were bitin' yesterday. Regardless of the fishing situation, it was a beautiful day on the lake. There were not too many others boating around, so we felt like we had the lake to ourselves.
Bob reads while I fish.
The algae was in bloom. The warm sunny days promote that, so the ex-park ranger says. Makes for very green water. At least there is no blue green algae, yet. That is bad stuff and toxic to little doggies who think they can drink the entire lake.
Tomorrow we are heading to Spencer, IA about 30 miles away from Laurens. We are going to a Grab n Go. The Grab n Go is an auto salvage yard where you can help yourself to parts. My son bought a really good lookin' 1991 Chevy Blazer last Sat., but it needs a little TLC. I hope it is as fun as I'm anticipating. Seems like a great scavenger hunt to me.
