I haven’t needed to elaborate on any “Monsoon Currier” moments in quite a while. The weather has been good for me at home and afar. But last month when I fished with Howie and Mike Neuman on Lake Superior we were drenched by three days of rain. We organized a do over this weekend expecting improvement. Not so lucky. You know yesterday was bad. Today was worse. An absolutely miserable day with rain, snow, drizzle, hail, smutz and ice pellets. Along with these wonderful cloud releases was strong wind with gusts well over 20 mph. And did I mention the high temperature was 39°?
To add to today’s pain, we got skunked again. Blanked. Not a single bite today in nearly eight hours of angling.
Regardless, I wouldn’t trade the weekend for another. We fought through it, made a ton of casts, drank several beers and had a great time. Unfortunately, our next chance to fish Lake Superior the three of us together again won’t be till next spring. But time flies and that day will come fast.
While I won’t fish tomorrow (weather is even more dreadful), I’ll fish again on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m a longtime ambassador for Costa Sunglasses and they are bringing in a photographer to follow me around to update my Costa story and photos. It should be a blast. I can’t decide – wading for muskies or a shore tour on Superior? Stay tuned!
Don’t forget the holidays will sneak up on you! Visit my online store for “Gifts for the Angler that has Everything”. Or order a Cliff Fly Box with my original sharpie art, a painting or order my decals as the ultimate stocking stuffer from my friends at Pescador on the Fly!
Misery describes it well. Except for the friends of course! Monsoon Currier and his pal Mike make for a double dose of dreadful weather. It was even too cold to drink beer like a Sconnie. Lets do it again soon! Ha ha .
We probably would have caught more fish if Mikes boat was not so wide!
