clouds and rain started around noon. then fishing was very good. Caught
five healthy Browns and lost at least five others. One 17inch fish was
all mustard gold colors with beautiful markings. Full fall spawn. All
were released unharmed. One laker also that was probably 18inches or so.
Not many boats after the weather got lousy. Wind kicked up so that the
flashers went off around 3:30pm.
