The weather report said it would be windy slacking off in the afternoon. NOT. Felt like a hurricane at 16mph. The main lake was so windy it took two motors to get across to the shelter of the lagoo...

Perfection. Weather, fishing, laughter....and a lunch aboard the boat. The weather was overcast for the first half of the day and then the sun came out but still not overly hot. Water temps had i...

Too much work and no play kept us off the lake in late August and September we fished Minnesota instead, so it was good to be on the lake again. While a short trip, it was calm and overcast and just ...

Last weekend the bad weather kept us away from the lake and almost today....but we elected to buck up and don the rain gear if need be. After a major downpour went through we launched and fished rain...

The end of the season is all too near. We took advantage of the sun and low wind and trailered to the lake. It still has not risen and made launching the boat a challenge but we offloaded and then m...

Posting belatedly so my notes are scant, but pictures stir the memory. Unfortunately, K had to work so P and I struck out for the lake. Hard to pass up a rare calm water day. We had a steady da...

Only our second time on the lake for the season. Due to the pandemic we really needed some happy times. Today was certainly that. A partly sunny day, light wind, water temps around 68 degrees and...

Not sure how we keep lucking out without a hurricane wind day, but today was good. Cloudy, very light wind, good food and good fish. Hardly anyone in the Park which made for a lake all to ourselves...

After a pandemic lockdown, what can't be great about the first fishing outing of the season? Despite cool temps and low fish counts we still had a ball. P. caught 3, K. caught 2 and I caught 1. ...

There's nothing negative to say about your first day on water for a new season! Okay, maybe it was a bit cold (50 degrees), intermittent light rain and the overcast skies and light wind made it even ...

The three of us spent 12-4 on the lake. For the first three hours we were the only ones there. We wore light long underwear and layers of shirts and jackets so we'd be more warm than last week. It ...

Spent four hours 11-3 looking for the trout. Normally, this time of year, we'd find them fast and furious, but today was a bit challenging. The weather was around 60 degrees, calm to light wind and ...

Worked hard in the morning loading shipping crates to send overseas for some friends. Then went fishing briefly. A great day all around, especially when I boat the most fish. (And probably lost the...

Found a way again to fish midweek and avoid weekend crowds. Just about perfect today with overcast skies, 60 degrees, calm and glassy for the first hour, then an increasing wind ending with some 1' r...

Hump Day Fishing- Catch and Release. Not much could be better. We only fished 11-3pm but it was a super fishing day. Boated 14 fish and easily lost 14. We're such duds that we didn't button up, lo...

We are late getting on the Lake, but nonetheless, made it for 2023. (We actually tried to go a week ago, but the wind and waves on the lake were much worse than conditions "in town" We trailered to ...

What a brief but memorable day. Had to work this morning, so we all three drove separately to meet to hitch up the boat. Half an hour later P and I are wondering where K is - a half hour late. We c...

Always love it when we can fish mid week and though not as long as I'd like, still was a great respite. Bummed the water draw down seems even earlier this year. We gauge by the number of concrete ri...

What treat to fish midweek. (Now I'll play catch up in the office....but that's okay.) Thought because it was a Tuesday and overcast the Park and Lake would be uncrowded. Wrong. I think everyone w...

The only thing the day was short on was the big fish. We had a ball catching small and medium/sandwich size trout and bass but never found the lunkers. But that's okay as we had a great day catching...
