Fishing at Valens, No-Caledonia, No-Port Dover, No-Back to Caledonia!
Brother Mike & I made plans to go fishing at Valens Conservation Area today. Thank goodness I called ahead to check out the bait situation: no fishing at Valens until bass season starts! So, off to Caledonia instead. On the way there, Brother Mike decided to take a special way to a spot he always catches fish. Wrong turn! We were on our way to Port Dover so we decided to fish at the pier there.
When we got to Port Dover, we headed off to the pier. Even though it was 29°C, there was a mighty cold wind blowing in off Lake Erie. After five minutes we both agreed enough was enough. It was even too cold to enjoy a perch dinner at Callahan’s, my favorite Port Dover eatery. So, off to the Arbor where Brother Mike & I each enjoyed a foot-long with some delicious french fries. Then, back to Caledonia.
Brother Mike did find his spot but unfortunately it was not very wheelchair accessible. Instead, we headed to the dam and threw in our lines. It was simply a beautiful day; sunny, warm with a beautiful refreshing breeze blowing. We were there for a couple of hours or so. No luck, just a few nibbles. Still, it was a great outing! Nice to see Brother Mike getting out and enjoying things again.
