My first float down one of my local Wisconsin rivers last year didn’t happen until June 24. That was a great day that led to at least a dozen more fun floats – most with my friend Bob Butler. Bob and I have been chomping at the bit to get started again this year and on this gorgeous sunny day with a high temperature of 72° we made our first float.
Its hard to put in words how striking it is here in May. My old Idaho stomping grounds were amazing during May as well but here its different. Its so green its unbelievable. A million different shades almost like in the rainforest. And the huge number of birds species along with frogs and turtles and more, I’m loving it here.
Our fishing was ok. We caught good numbers of fish but they were small and nothing ate on top. Totals were something like eight smallmouth bass and five pike. The biggest bass may have been 13” and longest pike about 22”. We had no musky sightings.
Not many details on today only because I’m getting Granny on the water early tomorrow and then leaving for Canada on Saturday. I’m a little short on time this week but stay tuned!
