January 20

We got back yesterday after a two day trip to Elephant Butte.  The weather was beautiful---sunny and warm.  The water temperature was around 47 degrees; it was evidently too cold for the fish because we spent four hours on the water with nary a nibble to show for it.

We have discovered a very nice cove next to Kettle Top that SEEMS to have fish---at least the fish finder indicates they’re somewhere under us.  All we need now is a fish getter.......

Howard’s banjo arrived today and it’s a beauty.
