Stream Watch Pike Trip

[dryfly]

Thanks again to all who participated in the Stream Watch auction...especially Toolman.

 

adc and I guided the pike trip winner, TG, to Crawling Valley two weeks ago and it was a terrible bust. TG landed one small pike, adc caught a walleye and I got skunked. We blamed it in the foul east wind that annoyed us all day...BTW I had ONE hit in five hours. It was slow.

 

So we offered to take TG to another place and last Thursday we went to Badger Reservoir--known for large pike. (I managed two big pike from Badger the three times I'd fished it previously.) Well Badger was better than CV, but it was not crazy. We caught quite a few pike including a couple of half decent fish like this one landed by TG.

 

Thanks to TG for buying the trip and supporting SW. Was a good day.

 

 

I also got to try out my new G series 70-300 lens on some ring-billed gulls....got a couple of decent shots.
