Alternate Fishing Technique II


In a recent blog, I posted some photos of great blue heron fishing from flight.  Here is another method which truly amazed me when I saw it.  One early, foggy morning, I arrived at the river to see a great blue heron riding on a tree that was floating down the river.  It gave the heron the advantage of fishing in an area where it could normally only briefly fish - the middle of the river. Any successful fisherman will also tell you that fish are attracted to structure, so something like a large log would be like riding a giant lure. I think maybe that is when my esteem for the resourcefulness of the great blue heron began to grow.
