Trout fishing Spring 2009

Went down to the pond at Sportsman Park in the afternoon. Will snagged this one on a red/white Daredevil spoon. Fought hard. It ended up in the frying pan and in our bellies. Click on the pic for enlargement.

Sledding-Dec 2007 Nelson Park

Nice and sunny, right about 32F.











This is the tree near Nelson Park that the tornado planted a street sign into the trunk. It is near the fishing store with the huge fiberglass bass on the roof, that the tornado planted a tree branch into its head. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Decatur,_Illinois#Tornadoes_in_a_Row





A tree branch impaled this giant bass at Mac's Tackle Box.
