A Grain of Salt?

[Jim L]

Thanks for answering my questions on landing fish when fishing solo on the show. Do you know the status of suckers the rest of the fall? PI, Boulder Junction and some shops in St. Germain didn't have suckers and I heard that Eagle River didn't have any at all. I know the bait dealers were having trouble trapping them earlier. Pete, I figured since you work at R&H you would have an idea what we can expect the rest of the season.

Thanks again,
Jim Lund

Just took delivery on 500 fresh from the river yesterday. Mostly large and extra large. Most shops we've spoken with are either out or on a very short supply. It's going to be dicey the rest of the season. When our supplier gets them we get a phone call and usually delivered within 24 hours. Shops who just buy from the standard bait dealers are getting them pretty much on a rationed basis.
