 It’s not always the out of staters making the mess. A week ago Friday we @stasw8 and I found this pile at a parking area. To us it looked like someone had a party at one of the lakeside campsites and either left their junk at the site and others carried it out or itContinue reading “Bad Behavior”

I love Rhubarb. I could go on and on about rhubarb just like Bubba did about shrimp in the movie Forest Gump. If I ever need to request a last meal, it will be all Rhubarb deserts, period. My first jar of Rhubarb sauce came by trade. It was a handshake deal. I cleaned outContinue reading “Rhubarb”

Big change from last weekend. Water temps at the two lakes I fished over the were 64-65 degrees. I targeted pike on Saturday and trout/salmon Sunday. Primarily calm winds both days with clouds giving way to sunshine mid morning. I caught a small pike Saturday and missed two others. I know musky is considered theContinue reading “May 18th and 19th”

Last weekend May 4th and 5th I found myself being drawn to Lake George again. This time I went out of Veterans park and fished the Tongue Mt area.

To my surprise it was calm/flat till 2 pm.  Water temp is 45-46.  I Landed 2, 26Continue reading “April 20, 2024 Report”

Ice went finally went out on two of my favorite lakes yesterday and I was out today. Water temp is ranging from 40 -43 , air temp was 38 and wind 11-15 gusts into mid 20’s. Smelt are balling up and not too far from the spawning streams. I’ve been fishing a sink tip offContinue reading “Back at it April 13th 2024.”

Winter has finally showed up. Not the full force of winter like we experienced in the past, but just enough to make ice safe for me to go out on. My preference is 4″ and better. What I found was a varied thickness from 5″ to 8″ with a few inches of snow on top.Continue reading “January 8th 2022”
