This was made by my friend Jack.  I'm not in any of the footage, but its a really good show of what we do up here in the winter.

Nice looking water.  Makes me think its about time to drift a wiggler through a few holes on the White R. soon.

Very nice.  Went out yesterday and picked up two hatchery fish about nine pounds apiece.  Mint bright.  Do you fish jig and bobber or what you eastern guys call roe sacks ?

sacks, jigs, flies, plastics, beads.....whatever works that day, all under a float

Do you ever throw sand shrimp or prawns ?

No we don't, though I've thought about it.  Its nothing they'd encounter, they aren't a part of our fishes' diet up here.  They don't get to the ocean, but they do use the Great Lakes for smoltification, and spend much of their life as pelagic.  Their main diet is alewife, a type of herring.  In fact, that's why they were stocked, to rid the lakes of alewife.

Went out again yesterday.  One 8 lb. hatchery hen.  My buddy slammed two gorgeous natives about 15/16 pounds apiece. Corky and PRAWN JFranco.  You gotta try it.  One native was on a jig.
