i saw that also. the Linders sure did a lot for fishing and it sounds like Ron did a lot for the community. 

you could also look back on past posts on this site and others

here's a book that has been mentioned before; Stream Smallmouth Fishing - Book by Tim Holschlag

thanks for the memory jog Scott. we took a family trip there when i was a teeneager and we swam below the falls and i think we even body surfed over them

maybe some prominent wealthy people need to go fish the menominee.....

and what's the deal with this? "Mine supporters say the project would bring year-round jobs to an area that badly needs them and provide minerals the nation needs." do we really have a mineral shortage? maybe find whoever is hoarding all the coins and melt those down as i'm sure this is the beginning of the end of currency. and maybe some areas just shouldn't have that many year round jobs?

i don't know.... it hasn't been working too well so maybe we need to do it differently?

Really don't have much to add in the way of a report or technique as it's pretty much been covered, Always learn something whether it's a technique or a behaviour that will improve my enjoyment on the water. Great to see old faces and meet new faces!!! 

Here's a few pics. A 19 that Bart was in the area to photograph, a different 19 selfie and an 18.5 that the camera caught just right.

I saw this message from the Driftless Angler.  Timber Coulee.  I never fished it but I did ride my bike thru the area. It's freaking beautiful.

i was just looking at that site last week, getting curious about chasing trout.

The whole system is jacked, we all know it, not sure how to fix it.

And on top of that the amount of food that's thrown out each year,...... it's sickening!

At this point I plan to attend

thanks! was looking at those over the winter just didn't pull the trigger. wish they still had the purple one.

Was actually thinking about this last week. I'm still planning to go and very much looking forward to it! 

Thanks for organizing and doing the follow up.

congrats and good luck!!!

i'm not tournament ready. bump board cracked thru plus a couple other challenges. maybe fall.... hopefully next year

i bet he's rolling over along with a few choice words lol

hopefully they don't leave too much garbage in the river and nobody drowns. be nice to see a glass ban....

how'd you do in the tourney?

that's pretty slick!

i would imagine with the tab tail being flexible you may get some erratic darting action like a real craw??

stimulate the economy and buy a new computer lol!!

hope you get it sorted

All ISA stuff is going directly to junk mail. Not able to figurie out how to prevent that.

usually it's just a matter of adding the isa email address to a safe sender list. should be somewhere in your settings

shoot meant to reply to this.... i only have it set up for new topics. maybe undo all your following and then redo?

did you figure it out?

I thought they were pole vaulters but no one wants to go first.

To echo some of the above; most use a snap to make changing baits easier.  I personally use  palomar knot. Some like to change the line tie split ring to an oval one when tying direct. The idea is that it won't rotate like a round split ring trapping your line in the gap.

Snap swivel is best for baits that rotate like an inline spinner.

I'll echo some of what was already said. Square bills that dive to 2-4 ft, maybe a bandit 200 if occasionally you know a hole your fishing is 6-8 feet deep. Definitely different sizes from 1.5 - 3 inches. Find a brand or brands you like. White, chartreuse/yellow/bright , bluegill/natural and maybe translucent is really all you need.  You really don't even need that much unless you're really into cranking.

Thanks for sharing. I've seen more eagles than osprey so this is very cool!

Some good content and info, thanks for sharing.

What if the river is blown out ?  Will the tourney offer a refund if cxl ?

I mean....... is it even still on given the current situation?

Regardless should probably have a threshold of  "safe" river levels and anything above that it's postponed.?? 

That is amazing!!!!!

Any blue and orange square bills out there😉

Lol!!! Thanks for the ironic laugh.

The rest of my emails are all of the opposite viewpoint; social distance.

1, no     2,  I must have set it up correctly because I got an email saying you had responded. 

Hmmm.... I guess I have it set up different as I only get a notification when a new topic is started. 

Glad it's working again.
