    The river is still a little to cool for my liking just yet....I am looking forward to testing out my new Havana's once June arrives.

    With the pounding at Pymie we all got....the lake fish weren't moving.

    AND......you always read that river fish are the least effected by cold fronts.

    It was a guess....I'd say educated guess but with these fish, all bets are off for any type of educated anything sometimes!!!

    I've thrown Jackpots a bit each time I've been out so far. As I mentioned in another post, so far only the Pike seemed to have any interest. However, those new surface baits I have for the Flyrod have added another dimension to my topwater arsenal. If I'm REALLY lucky, I can achieve 2 of my '09 goals in one shot by landing a Musky on the topwater bait with the FLyrod. Now that will be awesome!!!

    I have een throwing poe's and topraiders with no response, however I have been seeing them slam things on the surface and when I was fishing the other night at Tamerack I heard several on the surface and trust me they were not bass! Has anyone ever tried working a jointed 8" believer across the surface REAL slow attached at the top eye? They look like they would get eaten and they have an amazing clack clack clack to them as they move along. I was playing around with mine last year and now I am thinking it may be the ticket in certain situations. Any thoughts?

    I have done this using a jointed Fat Body and hit fish as late as early-December. It is also a very deadly approach for nite fishing too.

    Click, clack, click, clack........

    Played around with the Havana on Saturday and the action is awesome. Very easy to work and a very audible "plop, plop" during each direction change.
