John, Dale's calling it semi-retired because I'm giving up doing actual fishing reports. Go here, use this, fish it like this. It's the same thing over and over again. I got tired of it. I'll only be doing the stories I put on my blog. He'll use those now and then. He can use a regular contributor ...

About 10 minutes later another one starting hooting back from quite a distance away. Exactly why I like sleeping with the...

Hey guys. I have passed by the Yorkville dam a couple of times in the last week and saw some guys wading. I'm just curious how it's shaping up with the changes. I would think there are more current breaks where the fish can hang. Ken I know thats probably to close to home for you, but anyways it wou...

Come on ....I wanna hear some one say they have done some damage on walleyes. Spring and fall the best bets? Do you have to go right up on the dam area to catch them. Usually when I wade I prefer to stay away from the dams, I'm a roamer.
