sunday i took the troop to the footesite dam in oscoda . we tried to find bassasses tournament but the kids were getting board and wanted to fish .
dang smallies are everywhere , couldn't get much more than that . uh , well there was one other fish , almost .
hooked onto a sizeable rainbow trout , it woulda whopped my 16 species entry easy . on the first run maybe 50 feet of line just ripped out in no time flat . thats when i handed the rod off to the closest kid . it spooled out another 30 or 40 feet as he was holding on for dear life , ya' shoulda seen that kids eyes at that point , bigger than half doller coins i bet , man i was loving it . a couple more runs and the kid was cranking on that reel like there was no tomorow , suddenly the line went limp . the fish snapped the 6 pound leader .
well the kids are gone back now . i went to the river below the beaverton dams after work , nutting but smallies again .
where's them dang muskeys hiding ?
