No, Not Dead....

Just sit in front of a computer for 8+ hours a day at work. Not that I don't have schiznat to say, but hard to take up the keyboard when I get home. I'll keep at it though.

Where Have All The Salmon Gone?

Wow, not a salmon to be found at my favorite fishing spot yet. Makes me wonder if the alewives in the inland sea have something to do with it? Used to catch at least one a day, but haven't even had a flag on a tip up trip yet. Matter of fact, haven't caught anything more than a handful of perch.

I'd think it was me, but I saw the derby results from the last two years the other day. Only one was entered in two years out of a possible ten. At least a couple Brown Trout bit for someone, as they can be entered in the same category. I guess I'll have to broaden my horizons, and find a new spot.

Broad lake maybe? Just like to catch something anyways. Dunno, I'd like to make it to the kingdom to give Willoughby a try. A majority of the state record Lake Trout have come from there but it's such a deep lake! The fish could be anywhere.

Another spot I got interested in this winter was Waterbury Reservoir. It's the first year it's been full in about seven years since they began work on it. The edges that reflooded contain brush that grew up, and all the bigger fish hang out there waiting for the schools of smelt to swim by. Not only can you fish bass through the ice there, but the State stocked it with thousands of trout this year. Very tempting....
