I’m helping a family friend go through their dad’s stuff. Can anyone identify some of these reels. The Orvis reels are there only ones that have markings telling what they are. The others have no identifying marks on them.

If the M’s get someone on 2nd again with no outs, they need to bunt no matter who is at bat.

Bluegill pull so hard!

From about 6th grade through high school I spent more time fishing, than studying. During my senior year in high school I was on a fishing trip with my dad at Buoy 10. On that trip we saw the Coast Guard out waiting to get the inevitable distress call. While they were waiting for a call they...

I did a combo warm water/cold water trip recently. The warm water lake started slowly and someone was bored- I finally found the fish and had lots of action from Crappie and Bluegill. The cold water lake started off fast and furious and someone was more alert- The fishing was very good-...

The M’s are messing with my bedtime 2 nights in a row. Tied for 1st…

-The lake is still open to fishing. -The last time I was there DNR had no parking signs posted by the gate. If you park there, there’s a small chance of getting a parking ticket. -There are other areas you can park and walk down, if you don’t want to chance getting a parking ticket. -“catchable”...

This video motivated me to hit the lake again recently- https://www.fishthewestfilms.com/ryan-williams For whatever reason I’m feeling the need to get a glitterflake paint job and upgrade my 55# thrust Minn Kota to a 300 hp Mercury, on my drift boat.😂 I also caught a few other fish. I...

Fantastic report!!!

If anyone wants to try the head turner bead (almost balanced) leech, let me know and I can send these (free) to test out. Edit update. They are being mailed out.

The boring part trolling around for these- This is what caught the Kokanee (with tuna corn on the hooks) at 50’- 60’ on the downrigger- After my Kokanee limit was achieved, I broke out the 5 wt and the fun part took place (I’m easily amused). This was the fly that worked for the NPM-...

I raided my wife’s craft stuff. It’s just ribbon.

I do it all the time. I don’t tie them any different from when I bobber fish with them. I do use offset beads now, instead of a pin and bead. I’m looking forward to stripping this one on a slow sink line.

I raided my wife’s craft stuff and found some fishy looking ribbon. The Balanced Bleeding Lace Leech-

Here’s a PSA. Targeting warmwater fish is fun. It only took me 30 years of driving by this lake to finally stop there, and figure that out😂. If you haven’t tried it, you should. It’s simple. A white jig leech a few feet under an indicator is all you need to catch multiple species. The...

I made a quick evening trip up to Silver Lake in search of Crappie and Bluegill. I caught lots of Crappie, 1 LMB and no Bluegills. A small jig baitfish pattern under an indicator worked well. I was trying a Boobie on a full sink and was getting lots of hits, but I couldn’t get a solid hookup...

I don’t have as much history at Merrill as you. I only started fishing there in 1999. In my experience the fishing is no worse or better now, than it was when I started fishing there. The wild Coastal Cutthroat are the staple of the fishery and the data shows their size and population density...

The last I heard from DNR was they were “hoping” to have it back open in late summer.

I’ll take it.
