A nice Male caught on a orange yarn ball pattern tipped with a wax worm.
I got a much better hook set into this fish.

He put up plenty of fight and took me down river about 100 - 150 yards until we got slower water and I could net him.

Time to blog !

Well, I finally decided to do it......to blog! It seems like I'm being left behind in this fast and furious world. Newsletters are out and blogs are in. I mean I don't even have a smart phone or what's app !! So, it is time to grab this fast and furious world by the scruff of the neck and show it who the boss is. As it was with my newsletter, I wont be posting something everyday, only when needs must. Regarding themes, well I guess I will be posting things which I need to get out of my system and things which I think may be of interest to others. My newsletter included things like latest news, tours, new CD's etc. All of these things are available on my homepage anyway so blogging opens up another dimension for me, one which will take me and my readers into the great unknown :-) Of course I will be welcoming your comments to my blogs, thumbs up or thumbs down. Here we go then.................................................................. YO! Steve

The weather was great and we did not see many people fishing - it was opening weekend for Walleye and Trout.  As you can see from my photo below there are no other people as far as you can see. We were able to get some action right after setting up our gear, however the first fish (very large) was stripping line off and then jumped into...
