---2114655128-166797892-1345143750=:60509 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi All This afternoon I went to a small lake to try out a fly that I had conjured up. I left for home when it started to rain! I hadn't been to this lake in the last few weeks and since my last visit someone had hauled out a ramp that had been there for years. It went over the peaty ground between the real shore and the water. The ramp was as a guess 3 meters long by 1 meter wide and of course had killed the vegetation below it. So now there is a peaty patch you wouldn't want to step in. Anyway Arrowheads have colonized the open area and are in full bloom. Quite attractive but late I think for flowers. They are the Broad leafed species ( Sagittaria latifolia ). Someone once told me they produce tubers which overwinter and grow next year. I was also told Native peoples used them as a source of food and dug the tubers and cooked them. Has anyone ever eaten them? The fly produced a few White Perch quite nice ones 25 - 30 cms. Mary once had discussed White Perch becoming a species at risk but I never heard anything more - These seem to thrive in lakes with Small Mouth Bass but are unpredictable when they can be caught - for me at least. Others may know how to do it on a regular basis. Have a nice evening Paul ---2114655128-166797892-1345143750=:60509 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hi All</div><div>This afternoon I went to a small lake to try out a fly</div><div>that I had conjured up.
