We all love the sweet smell of home cooking. But there’s one thing even better, a drift down one of your home waters after you’ve been gone a long time. I didn’t move to Northern Wisconsin to travel constantly but I have been of late. So some local fishing today with fishing buddy Bob Butler was awesome despite being a little slow for a cold day in October.
And it was cold. Today’s high was 49°. There was occasional drizzle and wind to go with. Nonetheless it was a beautiful on the water. Very quiet and peaceful.
Unfortunately when the forest is quiet usually the underwater world is also. We were hoping to coax in a musky or two but they were nowhere to be seen. I landed the only two fish and both were frisky northern pike. No blank!
I have a ridiculous amount of work to catch up on after my month in Canada. As much as I’d love to fish every day this October there will be less days than last year. And, I’m not sure whether I’m happy or sad, but I have a bunch more travels coming soon. Ok, they’ll be good!
