Lure making most rewarding during open water season
Nick Simonson
Because the window often seems so small between the last bit of snow melting and the first hint of fall each August, open water fishing has a special place in my heart, and in those of most anglers. The freedom of drifting about on an open lake, or lazily floating down a river is a feeling unlike any other. The warmth of the summer sun, the humid air hinting at an evening thunderstorm and the tug of a fish on the line buoys my spirits year round.

Detailed rules govern the counting of birds

Collections mean things to people. I’m no psychologist but I suppose they represent order for folks; some way of making sense of disparate items by lumping them together in a tidy package. My neighbor has some Hummel’s for instance. Walk into my mother’s home and a person will find boxes of Precious Moments. People will collect just about anything and everything from matchbooks to classic cars.
