Casting and Stalking
Witfi Dale Rohde
Morels are starting to pop up in the local moun
tains, and interest the tasty morels is mushrooming
I've always experienced good luck in the
Cutsforth park area There's a good variety of edi
ble mushrooms in that area First-time mushroom
hunters should have someone with them who can
correctly identify morels because there's also a large
variety of poisonous mushrooms in that area I know
from experience I once let a friend convince me
that some mushrooms we stumbled across while
deer hunting were edible I had serious doubts about
trusting dm guy's word, because I had never seen this type of mushroom
before But by the time dinner rolled around and I had watched him down
a couple bites, my doubt was overcome by trust We both ended up in
bed for three days with tremendously upset stomachs What's worse,
those mushrooms tasted terrible
Steven Sather and I teamed up last week for a fishing trip to Cutsforth
pond It's in fine shape for fishing Steve caught a couple pan-size trout
on a minnow spinnerbait
I had my doubts when he started casting You see. Steve just moved
up here last Fall from Louisiana, and he's used lo fishing for large mouth
Bass This minnow spinnerbait was about the size of your index finger,
so it really looked funny being pulled across that little pond Steve got
the last laugh, because after he pulled in his second trout. I found myself
poking around in his tackle box trying to find one for me
I haven’t had a chance to check out Willow Creek lake for awhile,
hut from what I hear from local sportsmen it’s still pretty slow
I've found good fishing on Willow Creek itself Rhea Creek has been
producing some nice-looking trout A little warning to creek fishermen
always he on the lookout for rattle snakes I’ve never seen any on Willow
Creek, hut I have heard of them being killed there in the past I believe
they're a little thicker on Rhea Creek I've seen them dead on the road,
and a couple of years ago my wife Kelly and I almost stepped on one
up Thom Creek, a tributary of Rhea Creek Please he careful.
Each week 1 would like to reserve a spot in my Column to recognize
a local landowner who allows sportsmen to hunt and fish on their land
Mr and Mrs Darrel H arm on Upper Rhea Creek have been kind and
generous in allowing me and others the privilege of hunting and fishing
on their land
