Being mindful not to disturb fish nests (redds) while wading
Looks like rain throughout the week
Hoping for some sun by the weekend…otherwise, I’ll be walking in the rain (but not in the creek)

East Branch Chester Creek, PA
A charming little stream by a soccer field
I hadn’t planned to walk along the creek, so I ended up with a few ticks on my pants
Next time, I’ll come fully prepared to explore the area properly

Ithan Creek, PA
It looks like a busy weekend ahead, but I should still be able to squeeze in some time for fishing

Valley Creek, PA
I won’t have time for fly fishing next weekend since my son has a soccer tournament, but I might try to find some nearby water for quick fly fishing or at least stroll around some creeks

Walking home from the station
Hard to catch such a moment because I usually drive home
Walking brings some treasure

I haven’t caught a trout from this spot for quite some time, but I know they’re there, which motivates me to keep trying

Our front yard started getting some nice colors
My lab is one of the few places in my department still using glass pipettes Ditching them crossed my mind, but I fixed the pipette washer instead
It's a bit ugly, but it should be fine
Valley Creek, PA

Looks like I have to work on Saturday
But it also looks like it will be sunny, so I should go fly fishing after work

Living on the edge
But still alive and thriving
Sawmill Run, PA

The weather is warming up, all this ice will be gone by now
I should have some time to fish this weekend

Lichen green
On a gloomy day, a lot of things felt dreary, but there were some bright spots, like this motivating lichen green

Meadowbrook Run
- Tributary of Ithan Creek
This shallow tributary carries warmer water into the colder Ithan Creek. Fallfish, White Suckers, and Common Shiners gather at the confluence, attracted to the slightly warmer conditions

This morning, I parked in a different section of the parking garage. A little surprise to discover a nice view on my walk to the stairs
Last night at a soccer field
I was in a nearby building, dry and warm, while kids were in a training session
I should have walked around the field to get some exercise
The grant (R01) submitted
I plan to eat this pepino melon tonight

Unnamed tributary of Darby Creek
While Darby Creek was mostly frozen during the weekend, this small tributary seems to have warmer water and was not frozen
This pool was one of few unfrozen spots with a hope of catching fish, I cast my fly line several times because that is what I do
#WellnessWednesday #MidweekMotivation
Ithan Creek, PA
It’s been freezing cold, but nice to get out and see a frozen creek
With the temperature rising, I’ll soon find more spots to cast my fly line
An animal seems to have broken through the ice, dipping into the frigid water as it ventured to cross the creek

Barrel Cactus fruits
- Saguaros, Prickly pears and Chollas in the back
Looking at desert plants has been a nice boost to my motivation during this cold week
Looks like the weather will improve slightly towards the weekend
