THE FLIES ARE OUT. I’M SPEAKING OF THE FLY RIGS WE SELL HERE AT THE SHOP TO CATCH  PERCH AND WALLEYE. THESE ARE THE SAME RIGS YOU USED FOR ICE FISHING AND WORKED SO WELL. SUMMER TIME YOU JUST PUT A BELL SINKER ON THE BOTTOM AND A SLIP BOBBER ON, AND HAUL IN THE PERCH, AND WALLEYE. SERIOUSLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS  YOU COULD COME INTO THE SHOP AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

WE HAVE BEEN OPEN FOR ONLY A WEEK NOW, AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF RAIN. BUT THE FOLKS WHO GOT OUT ON THOSE NICE DAYS ARE CATCHING WALLEYE ON LONG LAKE, PERCH AND BASS ON GRAND, AND WALLEYE IN THE THUNDER BAY RIVER, AND IN THE MOUTH OF THE THUNDER BAY RIVER. WE EVEN HAD A LAKE TROUT CAUGHT OFF THE PIER AT ROCKPOT HARBOR.

THE FOLKS ARE USING A VARIETY OF BAITS. FOR THOSE WALLEYE. RAPALAS, RIP STICKS, EVEN BLUES AND JIG HEADS. THE SUCKERS HAVE MADE A HUGE RUN AND SOME FOLKS LOADED UP ON THEM.

‘WE ARE BOTH BACK TO WORK HERE, FULLY STOCKED WITH MINNOWS, CRAWLERS, HUGE LEECHES, AND LOTS OF TACKLE. I’M HAPPY TO SAY I AM BACK TO FULL STRENGTH, AND WAITING TO SEE ALL OF YOU.

THE WATER IS HIGH, THE FISHING IS GREAT, AND YOU DEFINATELY DON’T WANT TO MISS THE EARLY SEASON.

WE ARE OPEN RIGHT NOW FROM 8-5   SEVEN DAYS. WE WILL EXPAND THOSE HOURS AS SOON AS IT WARMS UP MORE.

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON !

LORIE AND BUDD
