First day of Spring 2009 on the Medway


Meet my new fishin' buddy... her name is Raggs! She was 6 months old on the first day of spring. We were out for our daily walk along the Medway River, and I remembered to bring along a camera for once.  She is a dog that turns heads wherever we go. People usually want to know what breed she is. Our vet thought she was a "designer dog", but she is simply a mutt - a cross between a German Shepherd named Sadie, who lives up the road, and a Terrier named Cosmo, who likes to roam. 


I'm looking forward to having her company come fishing season, which begins April 1st in Southwest Nova Scotia. Here are a couple of shots of the river.

As you can see there is still ice in the coves, but the main flow is free and clear. There are patches of ice and snow in the woods and, with the sun gaining strength each day, it should only be a week or two before the last vestiges of winter disappear. Amen to that!

Good Luck and Good Fishin',
