Found rod on Pool 2

I caught a decent set up today on Pool 2. If you or anyone you know can describe it, let me know and I will return it.

Btw, it was the only thing worthwile we caught today. Saw some fish get caighr, but it was slow for most people.

Nailed it!! Was that your Rolex hooked to it too?

I lost a st croix years ago up there. Cant imagine I would even want it back now.

LOL I was just thinking about Mike’s St Croix up by Pike Island. Yea, it’s probably a little corroded by now.

Now Dave if you dredge up a jig or 12 there’s a real good chance that it’s mine.

I lost a rod by Pike Island with my daughter too! The river is a magnet for gear.

This one was fresh, couldnt have been there more than a few days, maybe weeks.

I managed a to catch some cluttered fishing line from the confluence today. Those snags suck!

I believe it is Gary Lehman’s rod…

4 ft snoopy rod with 6lb stren mono and a plastic bobber?

Gee whiz, must be that darned “flow” that kills walleye appetite?

It sounds like he is the owner. Thank you all for your help, I will figure out a way to get him the rod. I told him I am keeping the jig.

WTG Dave!

What are the odds…good work IDO.

How long was the rod on the bottom of the river?

It didn’t look like it was there very long!

you guys are awesome. isn’t the most expensive but its been good to me. thanks to all involved. from the guy who borrowed me a rod when i lost mine to the guys who connected me with dave who found it and actually tried to find the owner. thanks again.

thank you walleye joe for connecting me with dave.

At the risk of sounding a little corny….

There’s a lot of divisiveness and anger in the world right now. Plenty of stuff out there that involves people yelling at each other and being very angry.

So it’s great to read a thread like this where a bunch of guys help out another guy who likes to fish the river. This is good stuff, and frankly it made my day.

This is awesome…..I caught one of P2F’s reef runners (and it still had a fish attached) last summer and I’m not returning it.

Now I feel a little bad……nah.

Awesome Walleye/Bassman Joe!

Well now that you are here…care to share how it ended up on the bottom of the river?

And BTW…welcome to the forum.

Great story!

I was following the facebook thread. How awesome to have this be found!

X 100 —- don’t see this everyday

Nice Job 2 all !!!

Must be the time of the year to lose a rod…i lost one last weekend down there as well. Managed to also take a tackle tray with some raps in it if anyone saw that floating down the stream…..

I think people get rods back more often than one would think. It helps when there is a name on the rod. Too bad my net didn’t find it’s way back to me.
