Grew up in Faribult area

[Jeff Horne]

Hello to all, I grew up in the Faribault area and love reading some of the post. I recignize alot of the area you all talk about. I fished the Staight and Cannon river when I was a kid. The Wollen MIlls **** was a favriote fishing hole for n-pike, and of corse bull heads. I worked at a bait shop called Fisher Mens Court (Lyle Arpin was the owner at the time) I sold him night crawlers and cleaned fish there for the tourist. My family moved to TN when I was 15, been back a couple of times but made my home in TN. If anybody recognizes my name I would be delighted to here from you.

Hi Richard, I live on Cherokee Lake, in East TN. It is a popular lake for Bass and Crappie. Fishing has not been good the last couple of weeks, it is a man made resivior and the water is very low this time of year.

I used to catch nice walleyes where the straight and the cannon met. I have not been back to fish since my family moved to TN, (shame on me).

Merry X-MAS

Hi "Hoggie", nice to hear from you. So you remember Lyle Arpin. What ever happened to him? I remember Nagles across the street, I have seen his web site. I have lived in TN for 22 years now and love it. But I do think about MN. alot. Left alot of freinds back there. It is always nice to here from folks around the area whether I new them or not.

Hope you have a safe and happy New Year
