It's gonna be better soon. I was out saturday in the belly boat and had one bite on the fly. It was an 18 inch male walleye that made a tasty supper. It was pretty windy and hard to stay where I wanted to, but it was nice and warm. Met up with a buddy from work out there who has a REAL boat and he picked me up and carted me up to the river to try for a while. Didn't get any bumps at all up there, but it was interesting getting into a boat from a belly boat and the doing the reverse when we got up there. Toward the latter part of the day, I got out and drove over to another spot to try...off the railroad maintenance road where the outhouse is. While I was trying to decide whether or not to fight the wind some more I noticed smoke behind me. Went over to look and a patch of dried drift wood approx. 3' wide by 8' long was on fire and blowing toward the long dry grass. Found a Subway drink cup on the ground and made a lot of trips back and forth to get enough water on it to get it out. Pretty weird as it didn't look like a camp fire, and there were no stink stick butts nearby...was wondering if someone was up to shenanigans or just stupid. Didn't try any more fishing after that.
