7/3/09 Aux Sable to the Fox to Blackberry Creek

Post by Ken G »

No pictures of the Fox. Did catch 3 smallies and a decent catfish out of it though. Lost a lot more when my hook setting capabilities went to hell.

More words when time allows.

First stop, Aux Sable Creek.

Long, slow muddy creek filled with water willows and lily pads and no fish.

Beautiful area though. Seems like only pot heads hang out there. Found enough evidence of it.

Hadn't been on Blackberry in years. This is right in Yorkville. You'd never know it.

Can anybody I.D. this flower? It was 7 feet tall.

Thanks for the flower info. You had to see where they were. It was a complete accident that I found them.

Basically, I was temporarily lost and stuck in the woods trying to figure out what the hell I got myself into.
