well it started off waking up to the sound of thunder and rain around 5 am . perfect weather for pushing the fish up , so i thought . i had to drive a little under the speed limit to see the road , even then i barley missed 6 deer along the way . my plans were to fish till noon and then head to oscoda for a meeting . that all changed after the first few fish i encountered and i lost all track of time . walleyes were the first to hit , and if it haden't been raining i would have rivaled stormys eye with a pic of a 39" male that fought like a king salmon . i thought the 20+" eyes were big but the rain had the big 30+" fish up top , definatly a blast to catch and a trip to see the spectators faces as you put them back in the river . the steelhead were still far and few inbetween , but they were huge ! the only one that i managed to land left the parking lot with an elderly gentelman that loved steelhead fishing , but was recovering from bypass surgery . looks like i'll have to go back again , i hope the fish will be there sometime this month .
