Wasn't going to bother to post but maybe someone else will find it interesting of get a kick out of it. Went to Pineview Reservoir yesterday for some smallies. Lousy results. A few dinks and one keeper. Anyway, early on I was in a little bay with Sparky who happened to be on shore at this time when I heard a very large splash. Thought someone had thrown a very large rock. To my surprise a very large, nice looking beaver surfaced which I certainly didn't expect in this area. What was even more interesting, he seemed very very interested in me in my tube. He continued swimming around me at distances as close as 10-20 feet. It was quite entertaining to watch. Every once in a while he would splash his big tail and go for a brief dive, resurface and swim around me again. Well, the splashing finally got Sparky's attention and he came out to see what it was. They continued to play tag, splash dive, resurface keeping close and just having fun, This went on for 1/2 hr. or more until we left the little bay. Kind of neat and interesting to both Sparky and I.
