Holiday Fishing Poem

 It's time for my annual Christmas fishing Poem. A few years ago near Christmas time, I went to one of my favorite lakes to fish and kayak. This particular lake was stocked with "Rainbow Trout" the day before. My goal was to catch a few. Here's a poem that lets you know, just how well the fishing trip went.


Not a fish was stirring not even a carp!


T’was the night after the "rainbows" had been stocked in the lake, I went fishing to see what I might take,

The flys were hung in the tackle box with care, in hopes that a big rainbow would soon be near.

As I paddled out on the lake, there arose such a clatter, I sprang up in my kayak to see what was the matter.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, a just fallen tree near a old whitetail deer.

I found not a fish was stirring, not even a carp, so I paddled my Kayak back to the park.

When I arrived home, fun was had by all, as my wife had just arrived from the mall.
That pretty much sums up my fishing trip. Apparently the trout, being new to the lake, had pissed off everyone and nothing was biting.

Florida Keys Map Collage

My daughter is home from college and is working in the studio. She has been working on taking some of my maps and making a collage. This collage has a few items that come with the map when ordered (Cert, of Authenticity, Poem & Map Facts). She also added a canoe and shells.  

I must say, I wouldn't have thought of doing this. It does make for an interesting photo. So far she has completed about 20 of these, which I will use on the website etc...
