Have you ever spent an early morning in mid-winter hiding in a duck blind over the only open water in the area? Probably over a beaver pond, as the decaying vegetation on the bottom of a beaver pond creates just enough heat to prevent water from freezing quite as soon as other open ponds.
In this world of lagging incentive, diminished productivity, and loss of pride in one’s workmanship, let’s give a hand to one of nature’s real workers, a skilled engineer, a producer—the beaver!
Fishing update
• Lake Anna — Striper activity has slowed and largemouth bass have taken up the slack. Jerry Dersew of Maryland caught six bass between five pounds and seven pounds. Donny Hall of Fredericksburg caught a ninepound, five-ounce bass and Jeff Wyatt caught five bass that weighed 26 pounds total.
• Rappahannock River — There are lots of shad and herring above and below Route 1 bridge. Shad hit best in early morning or late evening on silver or gold spoons.
• Lake Chesdin — Good bass and pickerel action reported. Largest bass of season by Ron Skelton — eight pounds, four ounces. Last week’s crappie tournament saw the largest crowd so far this year. Winning crappie was one pound, five ounces caught by Earl Tierottie, who caught more than 100 on minnows. Ray Millner of Petersburg missed the tournament, but caught a two pound two and one-half ounce crappie.
