Rainy report from 4/4 - 4/6

[Scoot]

Spent a couple days up north and had mixed results. We fished the river for only a total of four hours- people weren't doing well, us included. Only managed a few fish and they were realatively small. Others struggled a lot. Only talked to one group that did well and I spoke to a lot of people while we waited to get our boat out.
We counted 412 boats and trailers at the Birchdale access on Sat!!!!!!! Holy crap, that's a lot of boats at one time. We only waited 30 minutes to get out, but when we left here were over 80 vehicles waiting to get their boats out- yuck!
We did manage to catch some decent fish on the lake- a bunch of 3 1/2's, a 5, a 6, and one that was 10.6. What we missed out on in numbers we made up for in quality.

Yes it was a busy day at Birchdale. I'm thinking if the ramp was cleaned out it would go alot faster. Hint hint to county.

That much traffic on the river, plus low levels with low current is part of the reason for slow fishing. Temperature is 34 degrees. Our groups reported fair to great fishing.

Fronter is almost open - that will be another ramp for over shore ice. Probably by tomorrow or Tuesday.

We will check and update on the web site.

Did anyone do any trolling? We trolled for an hour friday and caught a dozen fish. Then trolled for a couple hours saturday and caught 15 more.

Biggest fish in two days was 26" probably 6-7 pounds (A FEMALE!!!!!!)

Try trolling. It Works!!!!!!
