Message of the Day – A Fisherman
This fisherman in Cornish Park at Crystal Creek where it enters the Fox River caught a big one before I talked to him and took this picture.
He knew he had hooked something significant.
But the rod was just too light.
I asked if it might have been a big catfish.
He thought it could have been a northern pike.
Never can tell with the river so high.
Like any good fisherman, though, he didn't give up.
I went to take some pictures of the river and the dam at Algonquin from Route 62 and on the way back saw his reflection in the creek and took this photo.
“Will my picture be in the newspaper?” he asked.
I burst his bubble by introducing myself and telling him I had a “Message of the Day” on my blog and had used fishermen before.
He wasn't the only one on the Fox.
That's for sure.

Message of the Day – Fishing
Taken last Monday, April 7th, this picture shows a man fishing from the Crystal Lake Park District's Main Beach.
He wasn't the only one out admiring the newly liquid lake.
The ice was completely gone on April 3rd, I think.

The Lone Fisherman
From this picture taken at dusk August 16th you would think that only one fisherman was out on Crystal Lake.
Untrue.
He was the only one near Crystal Lake’s Main Beach, but there were many other boats out on the lake farther west on the mile and fourth long lake.
My wife said the clouds are pinkish gray. I can see the gray. I’ll take her work for the pink part.
