Friday evening my BIL & SIL took me on a boat ride up river. Beautiful evening, water cold, air perfect, salmon jumping. We saw several flocks of turkeys, a few mergansers, one bald eagle, a couple deer herds, and very few people or boats. I love the river up here, it's clear, wild and free. 50 ft holes and shallow riffles abound.
My brother in law fished as we drifted the eight miles back down river. My sister in law and I were more than content to just be on the water.
I asked my BIL what his favorite lure was. He said the "old" Wiggle Wart, but he said they are hard to find these days and he lost his last one a few years back. I'd never heard of a Wiggle Wart (what a fun name). The next morning I did a little research and found this:
The "old" Wiggle Warts are Storm pre-Rapala. The dogma is the older ones hunt better, have a louder rattle, and more erratic action, and are less likely to get hung up. Far as I can gather one of the ways to tell old Warts is they have Wiggle Wart printed on the underside of the bill, and newer ones have Storm printed there. I found a few old ones in online auctions, and will give them to my BIL, he has been so good to me.
The house is in escrow! Monday morning my realtor called to ask if the lady that looked at the house on Thursday and loved it, could do another walk through. Yes, of course. She came, we did the whole house/garden tour in more detail. They left, and my realtor called about a half hour later. She wants the house and is paying cash, (so no inspections needed) with a 60 day escrow. We signed the papers that day. Never even had to put the for sale sign up!
