Tried out the trout magnet for the first time but need to lighten up my rig; windy & 6 lb test made for bow in line & inability to set hook fast enough but lots of strikes. Caught brookie on panther Martin & brown on little rainbow trout jerk bait. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done an overnight canoe/camp trip. It was great but got cut short by thunderstorms this morning so we came home. Just incredible country. Gonna bring my son in law up and do a trip.

I am sure everyone enjoyed it Eric. Did you cook the catch ? When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of.

I see the guys posting the dry, treeless expanse pictures and know that isn’t for me. 73 degrees here today isn’t hard to take either. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

We sit out at the beach on Lk Mi and I say that EVERY time… I love Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, but dang can’t imagine not having big water around every corner like we do. The blue and the green it fosters really ought not be taken for granted!
