Fishin'

So on Saturday I went out with Rick et Fam to a spot on the Red river called Lockport for some fishin'. Its called Lockport because there is a lock there - coz back in the day they were trying to make river transport a viable option - so they had to accomodate a bit drop in elevation which caused rapids and they made a dam-type blockage to artificially raise the level of the river during the summer and allow free flow during winter. Needless to say river transport is a white elephant and all Lockport (or St Andrews Lock and Port which is the official name) is really used for these days is the occasional small boat.

All that said, the net result of that trip - no fish but much more relaxed after spending some time out of the city.
