I keep hearing how great the walleye are biting on the river but due to turkey hunts, work on the new-to-me camper, preparation for graduation, etc. I have yet to get out fishing at all this year.

That changed last night but it wasn't to the river it was to a lake about an hour from home where I had heard the northerns were biting. I invited Dad along since he and Mom are in town for several weeks of radiation treatments for my mom and it turned out to be a great outing. The weather was great, the company was wonderful, and the fish were indeed biting.

In fact they were biting so well that we had three fish in the first three casts. For some silly reason my son now wants to go fishing ASAP.
