Two friends and I floated the one of Wisconsin's larger rivers Saturday.
 

A little over 8 miles  We got started about 9:30 AM, and got off the river at almost exactly 6:00 PM

 

Flows were generally low-ish, but we managed without having to get out and drag the boat.  I'd like to attribute that to getting better at reading water, but who knows. 

 

Fish were caught, mostly by Joe (the guy who lives near nearby).  A bunch of smallies, one pike.  A couple of muskies were missed.  Maybe.  We never got a good look at them, but they acted musky-ish.  Could have been pike.

 

Topwater was the most effective for the bass, though the copper/white Murdich was doing well for a while.

 

A tailing wind made things a little more interesting in the late afternoon and early evening.  It made casting from the back of the boat a challenge, but really easy from the front...

A good day on the river.

 

We finished up with pizza, beer and lies at The Sawmill Brewing Company ( https://sawmillbrewing.net/ ).  The beer was good enough that we all took home a couple growlers of what we'd been enjoying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds like a very enjoyable outing.

Nope, we don't.

That boat has gone over the bank of a river to launch and pull out more than once.
