Suckerfish Fishing

Who would have ever thought you would get me in a freezing cold pond to fish "Suckers" with a net.  I'm still not convinced this is their official name but I'll roll with it since I haven't heard them called anything else.  The idea is to "dog" the fish down the stream to the narrowest point, where in our case there were half a dozen of us waiting with nets to catch the "spooked" fish.  I actually caught one on the first night (when I eventually got out of the car since finding a populated area seemed a little more challenging than anticipated).  The boys were up to their (as J so delicately put it) "nut sacks" in the freezing cold water, having a blast scaring up these slimey critters and the rest of us had a gay old time catching them. 

The next night it was our turn (the girls) to do the dogging.  I donned a pair of big ol' hip waders, and a spear (though only for splashing) and along with Pastor A and Hot Hunter L we "dogged" the suckers down stream.  I had no idea that the Suckers made gobble noises.... no wait that's not a fish....I looked up above my head, there to my amazement were a flock of wild turkeys roosting.  Apparently they found our girlish laughs entertaining as every time we giggled they mimicked us with a "Gobble gobble gobble".  Where the France do I live and what the France am I doing in hip-waders, on a Sunday night, in the pitch black, dogging suckers down a stream?  Having a grand old time is where and what....I highy reccomend it!  Some of us weren't quite as fortunate in our attire as others...but God bless this attempt at waterproofing.  Now not only do we have Snow Rd Steak (fried bologna) and Snow Rd Salmon (Suckerfish), but now we have have Snwaders (Snow Rd hip waders).  What a beautiful addition to this collection of quality products;)
