Hi All
</div>
<div>
Yesterday was a day for a paddle but when I got to Keji the wind
</div>
<div>
was up enough to make a solo paddle less than pleasant.
</div>
<div>
But before I got to hike I meet Donna and she gave me a plaque
</div>
<div>
for volunteering in the park - image a reward for having fun!
</div>
<div>
But as always the staff are very kind.
</div>
<div>
So I went to McGinty Lake Trail. This is an old trail which is no longer
</div>
<div>
kept up but fine for walking. A few trees down over the trail but nothing serious.
</div>
<div>
It crosses a brook three times with little bridges. Very nice with running water.
</div>
<div>
I sat on each bridge and on each bridge was able to see White Suckers going
</div>
<div>
up to spawn. Not thousands - more like dozens but I'm sure if I had kept track
</div>
<div>
the total would have been in the hundreds. These fish are bigger than the white perch
</div>
<div>
that I saw the other day. As a guess 25 - 40 cms. Pretty fish with a light brown stripe.
</div>
<div>
The brook goes into Grafton Lake, there must be a lot of fish in that lake all told.
</div>
<div>
A great day they made.
</div>
<div>
Insects were out good too but the black flies weren't too bad with the wind. I took
</div>
<div>
no precautions about ticks, walked in the bushes, sat under trees just ignored them
</div>
<div>
and I had none on me all day. There was a hatch of Mayflies at one point, and a few all
</div>
<div>
along the brook. There was a lot of a pretty little blue butterfly in the woods. Some places
</div>
<div>
a lot. Also a pretty orange moth.
</div>
<div>
A very alive place.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the spring
</div>
