You guys are making tears in my eyes. The days of Al and Millie Weseman in Al's Place, Mary Downey right across the road, Earl and Elsie Tomek in the Old Log Inn ("Scotty, bring up another case of Kugel!"), Popkos, Donner's Bay, Gawlitta's trout farm (the little kids loved it!), going down the river in Ed Robinson's green, flat-bottom rowboats, stump dunkin' Gene Netzel style on the Flowage or using a June Bug Spinner and a mud minnow for walleyes, musky size limit of 30" (season opened on the same day as walleyes) and a five-fish limit for the "eyes." And, back in the 60's using anything over a 15 hp engine was considered to be a death wish! The Flowage was quite a bit more wicked back then, and smallmouth bass were certainly a rarity.

Hey, 50 years from now THESE will be "the good old days." Sobering thought.
