[Skunk City]

Well after the horrible dry stretch through the Pike-a-Thon and the weeks after, the fishing has definitely picked back up. Been fishing a few spots up and down the river with great results on lures and bigger bait. They haven't been picky, as we landed them on 5 very different lures last night. No beasts yet, but hard fighting fish up to 33". LOTS of hungry fish to feed though with around 50 fish landed in the 3 days we've fished this week. Some LMB's and SMB's mixed in with the rare and elusive P-River Walleye showing his marble-eyed face again. Fish was very healthy looking, smiled for a few pictures, then back to the depths to get bigger and hopefully make some babies. Water temps are into the high 70's now and water level is still up from the usual summer levels.
