More signs of Severn R. spring: snakehead in a tre More signs of Severn R. spring: snakehead in a tree, osprey return, skunk cabbage, redbuds, red-shouldered hawk, carp carcass. Lots going on—live, dead—circle of life is only going to move faster as the weather warms…

HNY! Hiked into the headwaters today to find carp. HNY! Hiked into the headwaters today to find carp. Found a good number of them—all sizes, with some bigs in the mix. I tried method feeding and got them to nose the bait but couldn’t entice a really good take/hookset. Still learning this species and different techniques. Also saw the remnants of carp the eagles and hawks have been picking off. This is a fun winter pursuit!
