Waded a couple stretches of the Paint, Sparrow Rapids, the Ontonogan's East
Branch, the Brule (wow, casting room!) and the inexplicably named Jumbo.
First time at both Sparrow Rapids and the Jumbo, and both were beautiful.
Jumbo was probably the most rewarding stretch, and in my opinion, one of the
prettiest.


AAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!

:-)

When does September roll around this year???

Most all fish were caught on streamers. If you or anyone else has figured
out how to fish anything else up there without pulling up a
chum/minnow/turdknocker on your backcast, I'd love to hear about it.


Actually, I usually stick to dries up there. The stream residents anyhow
seem perfectly fine with non-descript Adams, BWOs, that sort of thing.

I've heard rumors of larger brookies on some of that water, which presumably
might be more willing to go for a streamer. I had a good fish on last time
I was up there on a coachman wet, but didn't land it.

I'll drop a few pics on abpf, assuming I can figure our how to resize them.
Thanks for askin', Bill. Hope you can get yourself up there soon. Sounds
like you got a proper hankerin'.


How'd you tell?

:-)

Thanks for the report.
