On Monday, July 12th, my friend, Frank Maus and I spent some quality time trolling for muskies. Although we didn’t catch any we enjoyed the day on the Allegheny River. (I jinxed him!) We did see deer; gulls and other things of interest. I saw one muskie at the surface of the water.
The mouth of Fort Run flowing into the Allegheny River.
Today, July 15th, I fished a little south of the lock at Kittanning, PA. I failed to have any luck too. (Frank jinxed me from afar!) I saw some mallards; gulls and a plover. I watched two young fellers wade across to the island. They were waist deep.

I decided to do some exploring for whatever I could find of interest. Wildflowers seemed to take the priority since many were in blossom along the shoreline.
Cardinal flower...a vivid red color.

Hi Fud, Thank you for the comments. I am happy people enjoy reading about my (mis)adventures. It has been some time since I have seen you. Maybe, you could stop by Dana’s Church in Dayton on the 19th of September. I will be playing country gospel music there.
