On a rainy, windy, frigid September 5, Gary Sterner of Nisswa was rewarded for his perseverance by catching this memorable large stick fish. He caught it on Devil Track Lake, in about 15 feet of water, using a Lindy rig and a night crawler. After struggling and struggling to reel in the large fish, he yelled to his wife, “Get the net!” As the fish started coming out of the water, she said “I don’t think it’s going to fit in the net.” He did, however, practice good fishing practices—by observing catch and release.
Jon at Buck’s Hardware Hank reports:
Outdoor fashion is once again changing as we work our way into the fall season. Orange is hot, hot, hot. You’re absolutely nowhere if you’re not in orange.
Being that orange contrasts with just about everything it really doesn’t matter what other accompanying colors you choose. Camouflage works quite well for those who aren’t sure.
With the grouse and trout seasons upon us, one should remember to haul their gun along if they’re heading out to a lake or stream. Brook trout in the streams are showing off their colors which just so happens to be very similar to our current fashion of the day.
Walleyes are biting on minnows around the area and most are simply jigging. Some action I’ve heard about includes Crescent, East Twin and Lichen lakes. Lake trout up at Loon Lake and Sag are suspended at about 30 feet or so.
Good luck everybody, and let’s be aware while we’re out and be sure of what we’re shooting at.
