The site for the Ringmaster Roundup has been changed from Houston to College Station TX. Some of the entrants wanted to move the date to the fall but a poll showed in favor of keeping the Memorial day date and moving satisfied the flu worriers. I canceled the hotel in Houston and am waiting for word on the new one.
The winds have slacked off and are quite flyable if it wasn't raining. I went fishing to try and catch a second fish to make another free meal yesterday. I had rigged a plastic worm with hooks at each end and one in the middle. I almost got a fish but it dropped off. Then I hooked a submerged branch and lost the worm. I had a silver lure with me so I put it on and after a fashion landed a 12 inch brook trout. I hooked another of similar size but it spit the plug out and the recoil shot the plug into the brush near my leg. It wasn't long after that I cast too near a rock and hooked another submerged limb and lost the plug. I have 2 more of the same plug to use. I'm running out of line, though, a few feet at a time. I've lost a bunch of hooks and now lures. Now with the rain the water level will rise and ruin my chances of a next meal.
Mothers day is next week so we will go out to eat this week end to beat the price increases and crowds.
