That' s too bad you didn' t do that well. I know what ya mean about that slot limit but I think that it will really be a big plus in years to come. Bigger fish will be more common. I read on walleye central that there is a guy with a truck and boat trailer that charges $15 to take your boat out of a stream and up a hill to the lake. That must account for the crowd on the lake. That really is a drag. How was the weather? I e-mailed the lodge my Dad and I go to which is about 1 1/2 hrs north of Lady Evelyn and they said it has been really warm. In the 90' s. I suppose the big pike were really deep. check out www.lostlakelodge.com Click on the fishing bar and about half way down is a picture of my Dad with a big pike he caught up there 2 years ago. He' s wearing a N.Y Mets sweatshirt and a red vest. If ya want to try a differant place, I highly recommend them. Great people. 87 more days till we head up!!!
