Herringbone -- is it worth the trip?

[herringbone]

I don't know, I have a friend who lives by the lake and he has never said anything about it, it's just a big slough, going out this afternoon to check it out

[herringbone]

talked to the fisheries in spicer about the lake, it's very shallow, carp, bullheads, northerns and perch should be in it

I would hit some of those lakes years back. By the time you hear about going out there, many times you have fish in your holes. Unable to get a line down.

Thanks for the directions Herringbone, looking at a map, it looks like its part of that big WPA, may have to go check it out.

This liberalized fishing brings up a memory from many years ago. My little brother was still in high school and was ranting about the open fishing on a local lake, so he drug me over there with spears, there was a creek inlet with open water about 30 yards across, swarming with fish. He was out around in a flash, looking for a northern to spear, me following gingerly behind. Next time I look over, all I see is arseholes and elbows flailing, he'd fallen in and was struggling back onto the ice. By the time he got back to me I'm doubled over laughing. It was only -5 out so when he said we gotta go, I agreed. Fun, fun.

talked to guy who was out there two weeks ago and said the fish were already starting to look slow. Usually when they put up the sign its to late.
