We had a rough start to our trip. That cold front and all that rain caused some serious temperature drops and stained water in the bays. Fished hard for the better part of 2 days and didn't even see any pike. Decided to check some steep shorelines and the baitfish and Musky started showing up. Over the last couple hrs of one evening and a couple hrs the next morning, we were moving fish consistently. I proceeded to pull the fly out of one mouth, lost a fish that actually bent the hook on my fly and the last one was right at the net when the fly popped out. As usual, it takes me a few lost fish before I start putting everything together each year. Tough part was that these were all some really nice fish. Was pretty great at least getting some action after such a slow start. Was a bummer that we had to leave so soon after finally putting together some of the pieces of the puzzle but thats part of the game. Get to start all over again on the next trip, can't wait. LOL
