Kat, you were the best. It is hard to find someone as special as you were. I will miss you dearly.

how did you do? did the suggestions help?

DonH: Right on! You are in the northwoods and want a walleye dinner.

Only a month to go

I just go with 8# suffix. I find that the strength of the line, plus the flexibility of the hook on the reeves 1/8 oz jig, equals less reties for me. by the track record, fish don't seem to care....

If interested, the website is Flambeaulodging.com...... and the three cabins at...

If you have a map of the flowage, it should...

kat at dear lodge on ff could probably help

I released three that were between 30 and 33. As with both of you the majority were in the 36 to 40 inch range. I found that with the high water levels last year, the smaller ski's seemed to be in...
