Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611	Well, it took it's time getting here, but our warm spring weather FINALLY arrived...along with hordes of plague-bearing tourists sadly. After hitting two favorite ponds last week, one with the kayak, and having both moderate success and no company whatsoever have not been able to convince myself to go out since. While visiting a friend in town on Friday afternoon I saw a major amount of traffic and just went awwww crap, here they come...hopefully they are mostly on their way hone and tomorrow I can have a bit more solitude. But hey, I don't even have to leave my property to see plant diversity and wildlife! Here's a few flower shots I just took today. Need to hike the trails across the road, but there were some knuckleheads out burning them up in giant fart-machines so I had to avoid them too. Well, it's one of the worst weekends of the year for citiots, and most of them have to go home... Anyone else been out? Seen any hatch activity? I did see some caddis and midges at [REDACTED] Pond and brookies were rising to them in the evening for about an hour or so. Insect activity has been very low in general so far this year due to our low temperatures. Well, as you can see, at least now they have some food! Jonathon

Going to try a different spot, as water is still to high on the river I currently like to fish. I just want to get on some water, and see some hatches or at least some rises. Mike.

We had one entire week of lows below freezing within the month of May, complete with snow on the 10th and lows down to 21 F. I'm sure you have some beautiful natural areas there in NM with some spectacular stuff, it's all about the timing. Today we're in the upper 80's F. Winter to summer in a few weeks. That's Pure Michigan! Jonathon

Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 3233	Thanks for sharing your photos Jonathon. I always enjoy your pics. Pennsylvania has seen caddis, sulphurs and cahills lately, and green drakes are getting started. Fishing has been good generally, but lots and lots of cabin fevered folks are out on the streams now, and it's been a challenge to find some solitude at times. We had a shot of rain that put the streams up some, but they are dropping pretty fast. Next week should be a good one.
