Good to be on the water after a year of no fishing. Fished 3 days, all day the 26th, afternoon of the 27th, and morning of the 28th. Weather and lake conditions were awesome on the 26th so we stayed o...

Not often I post a poor report, but sometimes it happens. That's why it's fishing, not catching. ;-)
Went north Monday afternoon and fished until 5pm. Split Rock area was dead, as in no bites, bump...

Launched on a windy, white capped day but knew we'd do well. Motored downstream below Lincoln in hopes of getting out of wind/waves, but almost as bad there.
Got one rod out and before I could depl...

Launched at 8am and fished until 1:30ish. Went downstream and started with flies and plugs. Hooked up on a plug after about 30mins but was a native so released in the net. Couldn't buy a bite after th...

Fished Sat/Sun downstream of Seven Bays. Sat was an awesome day, sunny, mostly calm, and nice. Funny how you can round a bend and be in winds then round another bend and be in flat calm conditions.

Nice day on the water, cool, foggy/overcast, and best company. :-)
My lovely wife had it down on native 'bows, and I was trailing her with goose eggs until changing to a Kekeda perch pattern fly. O...

Not fair to rate a 3 because we only fished a short time, but did manage 3 to the boat and one coming unbuttoned before making it to net range.
The day's mission was to get my 4yr old granddaughter...

Yeah, I'm rating it a 1 because, for the first time in I forget how long, we got skunked. Nada. Zero. One takedown about 2hrs in but nothing more.
On the bright side, water was calm, we spent half ...

Am rating this trip a 3 because surface conditions played a part in our fishing which, even though we caught more quality fish, I believe it also slowed the bite some.
We went up Friday evening so ...
