The mighty muskie remains illusive

For the first time in about 3 years we got the boat out in the water last weekend.Me and Sam made the trip up north to Hayward alone.Besides another family we were the only ones at the lodge.Our condo was about the size of our house.3bedroom,two bath,and full kitchen.As you all know the weather over the weekend was fine besides the gail force winds.We were able to fish on the sheltered areas but never caught anything.I guess its a hard lake to fish since there is plenty of food and tons of structure,but when you do get one its a fish of a lifetime.They had 2, 50+" muskies die last spring during spawn.It was fun anyway.

We also tried out the single-track action in Hayward.They have some fun single-track that goes from rosies field to Mosquitto brook road.They hired a bunch of high schoolers to build the trails around the area and they do a nice job.Not many people ride them so they're real rough.I like that north woods experience riding trails and thats what it was.

Not much more going on than that.This weekend we hook up with some boys at Mammoth for some mtbing.Hey,there was a big fire in my hometown of SO.St Paul where my dad is a firefighter.Biggest fire he's seen.Lots of chemicals in the place making for some nasty smoke.They even locked down a school down wind.photos
