Turtle Time Again

flyfishingWe know I have fast hands when it comes to catching turtles, but now Granny?  Yes!  And with a nice two-hander sized painted turtle!

 

Today it was me behind the oars on a lake here in Wisconsin.  It’s a big lake with few places for turtles but right after Granny snatched a pike from some lilies on my 6-weight, we spotted this painted turtle sunning.  Granny said don’t bother him but you know I couldn’t resist and instead of me I put her on duty.  She did good!  Honestly, I think making animals more aware of how dangerous we humans really are, the better.  Next time he’ll retreat sooner than later from perhaps from someone not so kind to take a photo and release.

 

Granny-CurrierGranny and I fished a couple lakes today.  It wasn’t anything serious but more of a relaxation day checking out a few new places.  It’s been a great June with a few more fishing days to come.
