Scouting out fishing spots

 

Unusual bark on this tree

OH!!! These are Kentucky Coffee Trees (Gymnocladus dioicus). Folk wisdom is that Native Americans used the large seeds for a betting game and inadvertently spread this species when they lost the seeds.

Hmmm! I might need to cut a few branches so my cast doesn't get caught.

The current is closer to the other side. I think these are "shallows" in front of me and probably get very weedy in the summer. Still, a fine place to fish in the spring.
