Today Stino and I set out to get to the South Fork of the Root River. IN all of my majestic knowledge I typically find it a struggle to end up in Choice as I typically forget that I need to go through Rushford and not through Houston. Today I went through Houston and we [...]

We have had some reports that the Black Raspberies are ready to be picked. We headed to Stone Circle in search of those berries. We found the berries at the base of the bluff to be further along than the ones higher on the bluff. The dogs enjoyed the climb up the crag in the [...]


Boundary Waters 2008.

After a bit of time spent fanagling with my photo album scripts I got it to work again. Here are the photos from the week spent in the North Woods where we traveled over 20 miles by canoe and paddle and canoe and sail. I will have a story to go with the photos soon.

The water is still high and the fishing is awesome! We went out in Brad and Vanessa’s boat tonight and did well enough to have a dinner of fresh fish with Walleye and Catfish as the main course.

Today I talked Shell into steering the canoe as I fished for some bass. We put in at Mud Lake, east of Winona. It is a spring fed lake full of fish. We were treated to a wonderful sunset. The fishing was great. Lots of medium sized bass for the dinner table. The Flag Iris [...]

The White Bass are stacked up on one particular Wing Dam below a dam on the Mississippi. I threw white #2 streamers and picked up several fish on my eight-weight. The fishing was fast and furious and I never had to make a long cast or wait more than five minutes for a fish.

Tonight the Mississippi River water boiled with White Bass. Nearly every cast presented me with a fish landed. I was throwing a #9 silver Rapala over the wing dam where the minnows that the bass were eating were stacked up. I am not as accustomed to landing bass with crank baits in their mouths as [...]

Today, Stino and I made our way to Crow Spring Brook in search of Brookies. We found none however we saw a bit of surface activity. The weather was unstable and we enjoyed our short amount of time on the water.

Today Stino called me and talked me into going for some trout. We headed to Stockton. The fish were in their usual haunts and were taking large nymphs that were swam as emergers, caddis dries, pink labs, and flash back PT’s. We took several dozen fish in a few hours without walking more than a [...]

Some clowns on a website say that I need to post these in order to introduce myself. The theme is Boobs, Fish, and Pie. I find it amusing.

Today was a great day as we had six canoes and ten riders. We launched at Rushford’s canoe landing. We parked the take out vehicle at Vinegar Ridge. It was a nice fast paddle that took about two and a half hours to float. It featured a few pieces of a silo that was leftover [...]
