Now back to fishing. The fishing has been great. The fish are gaining weight rapidly this time of year and are on a feeding frenxy. Pike fishing is good, a large number of tropy pike have been caught and released. Daylene Wallington caught and released two pike, one 41 and 41 plus. This is the Wallington's annual fishing trip - they have been fishing here the first week of August for the past 5 years. Daylene says that as far as she is concerned the fishing gets better and better each year. Ruth Streeton caught and released a 38 inch pike. (pictures are posted to this blog)
The Straders are back from Oklahoma, this is their second trip this year. They brought another couple with them and they are all having a fabulous time. Joanie Strader is starting to show Wayne how to fish. Her first day out she caught and released a 32 inch pike.
Walleye fishing is still good. There have been quite a number of trophy size walleye caught and released.
Trout fishing is changing. Trout are in transititon so the fishing is hit and miss. People are still having some success.
Oscar Farris, from Denver caught and released a 41 inch pike while fishing for trout. He caught it in 55 feet of water. This is very unusual. Irvin says that the big pike must have been "lost" to have been in that deep of water. Or maybe that is where the 8 foot pike lives!!!!
We were watching the Discovery Chanel, "River Monsters", the other night and they were trying to catch a 12 foot pike. Maybe it is possible as there are 8 foot pike in Davin like the local Natives claim.
The weather has been wonderful and virtually no bugs. Water level has come up and is about average. The temperature of the water is 68F on the surface.
