Beaver 10-1-24

Not a great day but not a bad one either. Water temp 66 at Beaver ramp 61 at Powersite. Had some nice Spots too, nothing to take pics with.  About as low as I have ever seen.

I threw the good one back, she had kind eyes and I just couldn't keep her

Did it stink up there?   The last time I went when it was real low it stunk to high heaven.  The barnacles were rotting in the sun.

Barnacles? I thought they were strictly salt water critters?

Zebra muscle, barnacles, whatever.  They stink when rotting in the sun.

No stink, but i know what you mean, whenever its been high for a while and the zebras grow and then they drop it quick those things smell so bad.  I did snag a couple clusters of zebra mussels around 18-22ft

Lots of eagles up there, I saw 3 big nests between Beaver launch and Powersite.  The eagles are always withing a few hundred yards of their nests it seems like they always close enough they can keep an eye on their nests
