Comments:
It was our first annual overnight pike fishing trip to Nelson. Today was pretty much a dud compared to other years. I blame our poor results on account of the cold spring which resulted in cooler water temperatures. We fished many spots and we fished hard, but action was hard to come by. All the fish we caught were caught on spinner baits.
Observations:
The spring is again late this year. The rhubarb in the backyard is starting to leaf out, but the leaves are about the size of cantaloupe. I have yet to see any flowering plants, even the tulips have not bloomed yet. There appears to have been a huge growth of wild rice last summer in the areas we fished. The dead stalks and roots made fishing extremely difficult in some of my favorite spot of prior years. The water is extremely clear in the back waters.
