Hello again from Hawk Lake Lodge. Just when you thought that the hope of a nice late Spring were gone, hope has sprung for the "Warmies". To the heretofore uninitiated, the "Warmies" are all true believers, led by the high priest Mr. Gore,
who reckon that the world is indeed warming at a calamitous pace. The only problem is, these folks are considered an endangered species in this part of the world. Just imagine minuscule and ever shrinking groups of true believers in these parts, assembled at one of many public venues, staring at the heavens and chanting, Al Gore, where are you now?
Well, as they say that is a deep subject. This coincides exactly where the fish have been have been holding throughout our extended chill. The good news is that, thanks to the return of warm weather, all sceptics have been forced to return to the fold. That's right, where just a few short days ago we witnessed snow, now we have to wear t-shirts. Sun, calm winds and warm temps are just too much to take (?). This change occurred just in time for me. You see, I had developed a truly menacing case of the "claw". The claw is where a confluence of factors; such as cold damp - weather, gripping a fishing rod too tightly and arthritis conspire to turn your hands into, well a claw!
Let me tell you all these mysteries sure have jump started both the walleye and bass fishing. While the progress of the season lags behind by 2-3 weeks, things have really started to pop. Following good legal precedent, you know the line - some exceptions have occurred, your results may vary, side effect have been observed to happen such as the public consumption of alcohol (yikes!) etc, etc. - I am swooning in my beer for all this, consumed of course in my private chambers.
Please call me for the full scoop. Seriously, the fishing is good, easy and predictable at this point. All these overwhelming conflicts have almost made me a believer - almost.
