Luke and I fished Richland County today. Luke is a recent convert from a spinning rod to a fly rod. He had never broken the 20 inch barrier before today. Luke landed the big bow on a olive with black accent zonker.

Luke had a brookie/bow/brown tri-fecta and I did also.

Luke 25 trout to hand in four hours and me 20.

Nice fish Len, was it stocking (brood stock in the pic) week in Richland or Dane Co? I saw Gray Goat do this also. Be honest, I would love to get in on that goodness too. Does WIDNR even stock bows, or was it a county thing? Also, Luke, the man you took out today has been a fly rodder for quite awhile. I've know him for a while.... his past employment was in the fly fishing section of a very large outdoors oriented store near PDC.

was really tiny stream....yes is for sure a brooder.

Luke just finished his celebratory German Beer on my deck.

Luke is in the market for a net now.

He said he will never look at small trout the same again.

Been trying to persuade him to join the fly fishing for everything group. He's been chasing pike and other species for awhile I've noticed. Not to keen on trout though. That I think may have changed today, a good thing I would say. Not a lot of other species to chase on a fly at this point, at least in our area. Nice job Len.

I took Luke after brookies last year and he was dumbfounded at the size and quantity.

He used pheasants tails and got 5-6 doubles that day.

The brookies are wonderful in your area. The bad weather this spring has forced me to branch out and enjoy a new area that I haven't really explored before. I love the brookies, what are the chances of a tiger?

Len, I would like to meet you and fish with you. I would have to bring a four pack of Surly with for such an occasion. Just the conversation a lone would be great. I filled out a gill lice survey this week too as you suggested. Hopefully something can be done eventually. Not sure what, at least draw more attention to a serious problem.

I should be healed by March open. Having back surgery the first tuesday in December. I believe knee surgery won't be far behind.

You are welcome to come without Luke too if you want.

My back put a serious damper on my 2013 season.

      Bait

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
