With winter like start to spring, late ice-out, snow, rain, low water levels and a busted tow vehicle it seems I’m spinning my wheels lately trying to hit the open-water season.
The only option I have right now is a couple shoreline spots. With a 8ft drop down in water levels vacating the fish from those locations.
Just recently the dam has been tightened and water levels have recovered somewhat. So has the fishing a bit… a few pike at first and now the SMB’s are starting a comeback.
Today I split a short trip between the tail end of a Minor.Period and the beginning of a Major.Period uptick nearing the dusk period.
I tag into my first smallie of the year… swim jigging.
Only one fish on this short trip… but felt great!
Keep those lines tight!
