First fishing of the year

We took the boys and a friend of theirs over to a Pilger Rec area on Saturday evening. Gorgeous night, and they caught a fish about as soon as they threw their line in. But, they were all these tiny little "chubs" -- the worms were almost bigger than they were, which was fine since we preferred to catch and release anyway.

I had fun "catching" shots, including these pelicans. I couldn't get very close, but I thought it was quite odd to see them in NE Nebraska. Chewy the dog came along too and had a blast hiking and running around. However, I spent a couple hours afterwards pulling 60+ tics off him! Yuck!
