Coons

Looking out one of the windows overlooking the driveway, I saw four of these critters causually skipping toward the street.   Two of them went across the road and two went in the culvert across the end of my drive.  I slipped out the back door and blocked one end of the culvert the waited at the other end with my camera..   The other two came back, here's three of them.

Pike Minnow

Here's the "Catch"
Caught on hand-tied imitation "Grasshopper" (#8 hook) .

These fish are locally known as "Squawfish" however, in recent times, some of the N'west Tribes have objected to the use of the word "Squaw" noting it to be a sobriquet of unflattering nature initated by some of the early settlers and trappers. Now, many of the creeks and other landmarks, etc. have been renamed due to objections raised by the Tribes.
