With all the rain and flooding the past three weeks, the mosquitoes have taken over the enjoyment of fishing. It is like a lynch mob! Maybe it is as bad as it has ever been. The fishing is slow. You have to work to catch a catfish. Saturday afternoon this writer caught a three pound cat south of Orleans. Michael Boehler, know as Mr. Catfish, scouted the river today for a couple of hours and didn't have a bite, except for those little mosquitoes. Craig Hoxmeier of Orleans said the flooding has changed the look of the river. He said that his favorite fishing place was eliminated when the river swept a car body away that he called "his favorite place". He said he couldn't recognize the river that was there before.
The Harlan County Lake, withstanding more large rains, has probably peaked for the year. On June 6th, the lake had an elevation of 1948.87. Today it was at 1948.83. They are presently sending 750 cfs a day out of the lake into the Republican River below the dam. Normal elevation is 1946. A year ago the lake was at 1937.37.
The Nebraska baseball team was maybe closer than you think of making it to the CWS. If NU could have won the Johnny Dorn pitched game that they lost 3-2, it may have changed the whole series with UC-Irvine. UC-Irvine beat LSU on 11-6 in the super-regional, but lost today when LSU scored five runs in the ninth. Yes, NU was really closer than you think. Coach Anderson did a heck of a job this year, period.
Kyle Busch was hot, then finishes 43 today at POCONO in NASCAR racing. Now Kasey Kahne is hot and dominated the race today. Jeff Burton continues to be Mr. Consistency.
Fantasy Sports is very tough this year for this writer. He is fifth out of six teams in fantasy golf. With three teams in the Nascar fantasy league, he is presently 27th, 30th, and 31st out of 34 teams. Not to be outdone, he is 7th out of ten teams in fantasy baseball. Not a good year.

John, you might write a story on some mosquito repellents I have been hearing about. Mom said put Listerine in a spray bottle and spray it on your body for mosquito control. I have also heard of spraying Windex around your lawn chair if you are sitting outside. Yesterday, I heard someone say to spray Lemon Joy dishwashing soap around the area to keep the skeeters away.
