Chief Grey Bear Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Yeah I know it ain't Friday yet. Dylan, Buzz, Emanuel and I went for a wade trip last weekend. The fishing was on fire too. Everybody caught a ton of brownies. While wading, Dylan and I walked up on a female Common Snapping turtle laying her eggs. What a site. Of all of the years I have spent on the creeks and rivers, this is the first time I have witnessed this part of the process of the cycle of life for a turtle. As an added bonus, here is a pic of a nice brownie that I snapped.

Chief Grey Bear Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 That is a Softshell turtle. Looks like she is doing the same. Looks to be a very nice sized one at that.

Of all of the years I have spent on the creeks and rivers, this is the first time I have witnessed this part of the process of the cycle of life for a turtle. I always miss the good stuff. I was back upstream with Emmanuel when you witnessed that neat little piece of nature. There is one spot on Shoal Creek that we have found hatched out turtle eggs the last two years. Same spot each time. Buzz If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
