My 26th trip to Big Brook and i had big plans. Previously i had found 2 Mososaur teeth, both in my first 8 trips and both in the same small area. I had returned to that spot before today but without success; no mos and very little of anything else. Today i was going back there determined to find my 3rd (and perhaps 4th). My wife had a hair appointment so i would have 2 additional hours in the water. I was psyched! Success was visualized and i was ready to make it a reality. BUT Mother Nature and the Fossil Gods had other ideas. It was below freezing and my body couldn't keep up with my imagination. After about an hour and a half of freezing and not even being able to pick through my pan, i retreated to my car intending to blast the heat, warm up and go back in. Fumbling to get my waders off and keys out, i finally made it into the car. My hands hurt so much i had face reality and admit this was not to be my day. With my tail tucked between my legs i gave up and headed home. Halloween indeed and the trick was on me. ..... but next week!
