Hi All
</div>
<div>
Last evening was so nice the canoe wanted to go for a paddle on the river.
</div>
<div>
It was delightful - a little breeze until the sun went down then still.
</div>
<div>
We went up to Turnback Pool where we stopped to get the kinks out
</div>
<div>
of our legs. Need pay attention to our age!
</div>
<div>
Just at the pool there is a little bar which is convenient to pull out at.
</div>
<div>
The grass is high along the river and a good hatch of midges was flying along the bank.
</div>
<div>
They were a light yellow - something like a Yellow Sally but I have no idea as to species.
</div>
<div>
Big Dragon flies were feasting on them. Just like seagulls enjoying French fries!
</div>
<div>
I kind of felt sorry for the midges but I guess they ate something on the ways to
</div>
<div>
being flies! A couple of times a fish grabbed a dragon fly - the cycle of life!
</div>
<div>
The river bottom is composed of small stones at that spot and continually changes.
</div>
<div>
A wayward stump will hook on the bottom and it will cause the river flow to gouge out a pool.
</div>
<div>
The small stones are like a carpet moving slowly down river. The water level is reasonably
</div>
<div>
high for early September. About the first of July when the river level is low it is common to see
</div>
<div>
a kettle of Lamprey Eels in the gravel. An active sight.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy September
</div>
<div>
