A Spring Fishing Trip on Leech Lake

This was written in late-May/early-June of 2008.

-- A Spring Fishing Trip on Leech Lake --

A cold steady rain falls
Two good friends in a boat
Calm winds on a late-spring night

Midges hatch on the surface
The mayfly dance begins next week
An aquatic bounty in the waters below

In the Northern Minnesota woods
On Leech Lake trolling
A big fish hooked on the long line

Meddle and More play through the marine speakers
Harbor lights beckon on shore
Get the landing net ready...

Cornflake crumbs and Shore Lunch
Hot oil in the black iron skillet
Walleye fillets for dinner tonight

Bags packed, truck loaded, time to go
One, two, then three airports later
Plans made to meet again in September
