We're Havin' A Heat Wave...

We're breaking records today and yesterday with the high temps. (Clear and currently 84 degrees!) The weather is really nice for our Spring Break guests. Everybody is catching lots of fish- we had a guided fishing trip out this morning, several jonboats rented, and plans for canoe & kayak rentals tomorrow.
We are selling lots of firewood because tonight is going to be gorgeous! Jupiter and Venus are still visible just after sundown and Mars and Orion can also be seen. Our friend is bringing his high powered telescope down to the resort and has offered to let anybody who is interested participate in the star gazing party. There's not a cloud in the sky...
After dancing toward each other in the sky for months, the two bright planets finally come together tonight (March 13) in what's known as a conjunction. At their closest point this evening, they'll be separated by a scant 3 degrees as they hover above the western horizon. (Your clenched fist held at arm's length covers about 10 degrees).
Wish You Were Here!!!

TERRY'S BIG BROWN

This 26" was caught and released on Saturday at Buffalo Shoals. Terry got a Trophy Trout Release Certificate and pin from the White and North Fork River Outfitters Association.

Learning to Fly Fish (once again...)

John and I are often dismayed at the lack of people out on the water in the winter- especially since we had such incredibly mild weather the last few months.

We have been wanting to learn to fly fish since we bought the resort and even took a continuing education class offered at ASU- Mtn. Home back in 2008 BF (before the flood). We never actually got out on the water after that to try our hand at it...until this past week when our resident fly fishing instructor Ron offered to show us the ropes and motivated us to go through all the steps from assembly of our rods, to practice casting in our field, and then "on the water" instruction on the gravel bar just below the campground.

The weather on Thursday was a gorgeous 77 degrees, but it was really windy so we were challenged (in a good way).

I landed a baby brown and John got a rainbow. That didn't even matter so much as the fact that we were out on the water and enjoying the best this area has to offer!

Call us to arrange a class for yourself the next time you visit.

Night Fishing

One of our faithful customers and friends landed this 33" brown trout at dusk last weekend!

Brush Off Your Binoculars...

I thought I would continue the thread from my post on bald eagles for all you bird enthusiasts and bring it down a notch or two to feature some of the more common species found at and around the resort. All these pictures were sent to us by our customers.
A morning...afternoon...or evening watching these winged-wonders from the front porch of your cabin is a whole lot better than any time spent in front of the television!

Eagle Watching at White Buffalo Resort

This nest is just upriver from our dock.

When you hear the distinct call of these majestic birds- look up and you will probably catch a glimpse of one of them swooping up or down the river in search of a trout.

Surveying the lay of the land.

Their size is incomprehensible from a shot like this.
