This morning I left the house at 5:30, planning on meeting Sean there, well I miss communicated with him and ended up fishing by myself. I drilled my first hole at 7:00 and fished for about 20 min. and not a blip on the locater, so I packed up and walked back to Norwegian and started fishing.
I had on a yellow Rat Finkie and caught an 8 1/4 inch gill about 9:00, about 15 min. later I caught a 6 inch gill,that went back then nothing, at 10:30 I decided to punch a bunch of holes and hole hop, did that until 11:00 and not a fish,
Another fisherman walked up to see how I was doing and he ended up being a guy I worked with 20 years ago. At 11:30 I started showing fish and by noon I caught 4 fish one using a Glow Teardrop the rest on a Glow Rat Finkie, only 2 were keepers, then just after 12:00 the bite started, unfortunately I had to leave at 1:00 but ended up keeping 8 gills for the fryer.
After the long walk back to my truck there were 2 guys sitting in the parking lot in a van, one guy offered and helped me load my tent in my truck, as we put it in a DNR truck was coming down the road and the driver tells the guy who helped me that they were coming and the jumped in the van.
As soon as the DNR pulled up to me they took off, just thought it was a little odd.
I talked with the DNR for quite awhile and did find out were a bunch of Northern were shocked up this fall. Now it just needs to get colder so I can safely walk there.
After they left, I took off and were the road goes under the rail road tracks their truck was sitting there and they were down by the trout stream. I stopped and asked if they saw any trout and the driver walks over to me and says his partner had just bought a new Olympus digital camera, $230.00, that’s supposed to be water proof down to 10 feet, so he was testing it. He tied a string around the camera and then to a stick, hit the video button on it and dunked it in the stream for about 30 sec. He brought it over to me and the driver and it worked perfect. So if you are looking for a waterproof digital camera go with Olympus, I witnessed how it works!!
