Why am I surprised: 1. I Expected frozen water-it was open!!! Should have gone sooner! 2. Expected a big kill off because of low flows and extremely cold/ frozen conditions. Not so thankfully. 🙂Just as good as always and fish seemed healthy! 15-17" with 1 at 3 lbs. 3. Water flow at a low of .61 scfs and was at .21 scfs during cold part for several months, That’s record lows! 4. Caught half on prince and half on Fox Gold sinner in just 3 hrs. Total 8, kept 2 for eating. 5. Caught a 5-6 lb. sucker and let Sparky have it as a reward. He carried all day. He fetched, chased released fish (didn’t let him get any) and was a happy dog with his sucker. 6. Sorry, forgot my camera so i didn’t take a pic. of Sparky with his sucker.[frown] [inline 3:6:13.jpg] ---

Glad to hear you got out and caught some fish. Supposed to be nasty tomorrow, guess I’ll have to wait another week to get out. ---

Nice report Fred, thanks for sharing it with us. Sounds like you and Sparky had some fun. You caught the sucker on a fly too? ---

Still doesn’t quit know where his rear end is going but seems active and happy with reasonable strength in the hind legs. Some times he collapses but i think mainly a balance and lack of 100% control of his hind quarters. He seems to be SLOWLY improving just a bit. 🙂🙂 ---

My old dog was doing that, I was told to cut out the protein some and it helped.. ---

Glad to see you got out and shook off the winter doldrums. Looks like you found some nice fish to bot. Glad Sparky is lookin up and had a fishy reward for the outing. Gotta love those suckers when they pick up your fly. They got shoulders. Thanks for sharing the trip. ---

Wiper and fish: Didn’t catch the sucker on the fly. Snagged him with the spinner but was a good fight. 🙂 Sparky carried him alllllll day.[crazy] ---

His problems are from a blown disk and some spinal damage. Don’t think it has anything to do with proteins/diet, but thanks for the input. [;)] Hope your dog is doing well!! ---

Sure glad to hear he’s making slow and steady progress. Nerves take a LONG time to heal. Usually he’ll plateau around 24 months from the injury. Good luck on your next outing.
