WHEN YOU CAN CATCH TWO PERCH AT A TIME AT ONCE , ON LORIE RIG, THAT’S GRAND. GRAND LAKE THAT IS.

LORIE CAUGHT TWO BEAUTIES AT A TIME FOR A WHILE, AND THEY CAME HOME WITH A NICE CATCH OF PERCH. SHE AND HER FAMILY HAVE BEEN FISHING GRAND LAKE FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND HAVE BEEN DOING QUITE NICELY. THEY HAVE CAUGHT EVERY SPECIES IN THE LAKE, AND HER FATHER IN LAW EVEN CAUGHT A NICE CRAPPIE.

THE CRAWLERS AND LORIE RIGS HAVE WORKED BEST, AND LEECHES ARE DOING A FINE JOB FOR THEM AS WELL. ONE GRAND LAKE CUSTOMER ASKED HER WHY SHE WAS ON GRAND LAKE, AND SHE TOLD HIM QUITE SIMPLY, TO CATCH PERCH.

LITTLE KIDS ARE HAVING AS MUCH FUN ON THE LAKES AS THE ADULTS, MAYBE MORE. WHEN YOU SEE THE EYES LIGHT UP ON THESE YOUTHS, IT REALLY MAKES MOMS AND DADS AND GRAND PARENTS PROUD.

LONG LAKE FOLKS ARE STILL CATCHING WALLEYE AND BASS IN GOOD NUMBERS, AS WELL AS NICE PIKE. THE WALLEYE WE ARE TOLD HAVE BEEN IN ABOUT 20 FEET NOW, ABOUT 3 FEET OFF THE BOTTOM. DRIFTING, TROLLING, AND EVEN CASTING HAS BEEN WORKING QUITE WELL.
THE WARM WEATHER SEEMS TO BE HERE FOR A WHILE, AND THE FOLKS ARE SHOWING UP IN GOOD NUMBERS.
