Tackle box, fishing poles, radio, a good book to read In a quite little alcove , the back outskirt of Lake Mead The desert sun burning the sky, I’m comfortable in the shadow I see the shad chumming toward the shore, my bait a live minnow Suddenly, down the shoreline, I see the water, rapidly rippling my way I was about to see, a vicious act of Nature: a school of large striped bass A hundred strong with a school of fifty tagging along : the bass kicked … I wonder Are The TROUT biting?? Inspired by Amy Green’s Contest : : I saw with my own Eyes July 8, 1979 -- 10:50 A.M. Lake Mead , Henderson Nevada
