Motorcycle Miles 5: Many Boats Afloat

Must be Time to Catch Perch.

[Photo: More boats than you could shake a stick at]

Take a fishing pole, bait, a bucket, chair, umbrella, a couple of Cokes and a few sandwiches wrapped in Saran.

Be patient. You shouldn't have to wait long. The fish are biting.

PHOTOS from Port Bruce. Boats are everywhere on the water:

 Boats, as far as the eye could see.

 Everybody is catching perch.

 S'mart Art or Sludge. 

Okay, so boats weren't 'everywhere'.

'Tis The Season.

[Photo: A very quiet Monday afternoon at Port Bruce]

June will be full of surprises at Port Bruce as the water warms and the winds blow. Wave action will at times drive fisherman off the pier while stirring up new colours for the watchful eye. Skies will then be very clear, and the lake's sights and sounds will be clean and crisp.

Under the bridge on Crossley-Hunter Line (south of Belmont) 

I had the place to myself yesterday.

Getting there is half the fun. I parked my Yamaha at Crossley-Hunter bridge and counted pairs of swallows in the air. They darted over my head and warned others I was back again, and not going away. Big numbers, big year, I thought.

Once under the bridge I stopped counting mud houses at sixty. Anxious swallows were everywhere - so quick I couldn't see them - so I didn't want to overstay my first visit. By my 3rd or 4th visit they will be less jittery and feed their young while I stand in the middle of the creek bed to watch. 

I'll be back.
