Fished Eloika 1300-1600 on the ice. Whole lake is iced over 2.5-3" in most places. Made the mistake of not studying the topo map well enough prior to heading out and wasted all my time NW & W of the...

Fished 11/09 and 11/10 for bluegill, but caught one lonely perch today.
11/09 was cold and unwelcoming. No bites fishing shrimp on a slip bobber. Oddly enough saw three big bluegill floundering i...

Fished for bluegill for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Catching 'em on a size 18 parachute adams-like fly was a blast - best discount $.25 fly I ever bought from Cabela's. I didn't think I'...
