    Washed out Parrie Season

    Never thought a duck hunting day would get washed out but..............YES

    Started off yesterday with giving my parrie siloughettes a touch up with redwood oil based paint.

    They needed a second coat but it was time to set them up tonight along with my swan silos that need more paint to.

    Anyway set up and ready for the parries to come as the pastures were dry and crops not ripe.

    The river was the only option for day one.So with rods at hand and guns slung we were waiting for the dusk.

    I landed a nice looking rainbow jack when the heavens opened.

    Once they were back the water was rising rather quickly and the silo spread was starting to get ingulfed by water.

    That image was taken just before the chocolate water hit we were lucky and just a great reminder to respect mother nature.

    And that view downstream is where PT and Mrs D crossed minutes before.

    There was a bikini clad las and a fella down there when I set them up,they soon scarpered.

    Well done in spotting the danger and keeping your family safe Dundee.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
