UPDATE ON OUR FISHING ENDEAVOURS   

It has been a great season for fishing. This past summer (2012) Jon and I got lucky with stripers and landed 23 one evening all in the 15 to 25 pound range. We didn't get a chance to try for shad or small mouth bass but hope to make up for this during 2013. 

Jon entered his second year of salmon fishing and landed a 29 incher on the River Philips during the fall of 2012. I tailed the fish for him and it was a super day for both of us. I tried salmon fishing for the first time and it is very a very addictive sport. Recently I have been spending a great deal of my time tying salmon flies (or trying to) for the coming season. My luck has not been as good as Jon's, maybe I should invest my money in haddock fillets instead of a fishing license!

In addition we did a lot of ice fishing and were very successful. It is a very comfortable pastime with the tent and heater. I went out to Grand lake with my friend Ron in search of smelt but we were skunked.
