Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

Always a few cool nights to keep us on our toes in Sask. Warmed up to 5 C or about 40 F now. Burning furnace oil cause I'm lazy, and it's really dry up here, even with the rain we had the other day.

 

How are your rivers saskwoodburner? Ours are just cresting the banks now and there is lots of snow in the mountains. We had some heavy rain last night and a cool day so I lit a Doug Fir fire late afternoon and kept it going through the evening.

100 degrees today, burn season is over.

 

Guess what?

20's tonight!

 

Yikes.

 

3c/37f right now but to lazy to get a fire going. I guess I can afford to be lazy at the end of the burn season when the birds are chirping and the bush is starting to green up. My son and I hauled a truck load of doug fir wood to the house tonight after work though. It was the first time he really worked his arm that he broke this winter. The doctor said his bones are healed but his muscles that he has been babying need to get back on track, he favored it a bit but didnt complain. He did good for a 13 year old that has just started his growth spurt. Ill keep an eye on him but looks like we have another load to get Friday night.

 

50f/10c very windy and it's been raining for 3 days now. We have had more rain in the last 3 days than the rest of the year so far.

I'm glad to hear his arm has healed! He's probably eager to get strong again.

 

41f and raining again. Some white pine and red oak. Great day for a fire.

 

Rivers are high, but normal for this time of year. We were shore fishing at the south Sask river on Saturday, and the current was insane! Better half caught two small pickerel and the most polite 2 foot sturgeon ever. I just donated jigs and weights.

Cool last night, so I lit off a fire...holy moly it was hot in here.

 

Sounds like a good day fishing. I havent caught sturgeon before. Do they get very big where you are?

 

I'm hooked on fishing now. It was never really my thing, but I know just enough now to be dangerous.

Some guys target sturgeon, and get ones upwards of 4-5 feet, but we haven't caught any that big. I think my gal got one about 3 feet long, that's the biggest. Sure are a neat ancient looking fish though.

 

Here's that little guy.

 

Yeah they are a neat looking fish and very long living as well. One of the reasons why they are allowed to be fished in certain BC waters is because they have a very high survival rate through proper catch and release. Great picture, thanks for sharing.
