Pine Creek looks very good. Many boaters are in the water and fishing is good. I understand there are still some large tagged trout swimming around. Of course the grass is growing nicely. That pleases those who enjoy mowing. Driving around the county this morning it looks like the county is mowed very well. Just like you would see on a golf course.Watch for June flowers.Henry W.
