so Keith and I were fishing along a bank last weekend and he used a word I'd never heard before. You learn something new every day around that guy, I swear. Anyway I was wondering if anybody else had heard the term. the word is 'catkins'. Before you google it, are you familiar with it? Is it a regional term? A scientific term? What? HellifIknow. But it does sound exactly like the thing it describes.

Had no clue ... I just called 'em "Pussy Willow buds/flowers", etc. etc. etc.
Cat tails? Since I'm a noticer and you said you were bank fishin' and what not.
If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
Nope. Good guess though!

Must be a catfish, then. That's all I got. Unless short shit was revealing his wife's pet name for him which seems highly unlikely.

Another name for "cattails" ?
Sorry Len, didn't see your post
The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
Noop!

A cats kinfolk?
That's probably the most logical response yet. But nope.

Yeaahhhh....it's that high protien/low carb diet fad.... The Catkins Diet.
Yep! About all the nut trees get them, as do ash and willows and some other stuff too. The pecan catkins stain my sidewalks for a few weeks every year.
Word up.

We have a heck of a problem with the oaks every year. 'Course when I was pressure washing, I made a literal fortune cleaning stained driveways, walkways and pool decks. For a quick fix P-hole, just pour some swimming pool chlorine/water mix in a pump-up sprayer and spray that concrete. Do it on a nice sunny day and it'll really bleach out as it dries. (note: it may "burn" the grass a bit along the edges, but it'll green back up)
Not a word in this post about whether either of you caught a fish.
And I am the one ridiculed around here. Harumph.
WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
That doesn't belong here anyway ... we DO have a Fishing Forum ya' know. Ummm, at least I've heard rumors of one.
Yep caught a 7 lb 6 oz largemouth. My first really big bass in a couple years.
