It was a very nice night, with little wind. I was able to squeeze in a little walleye and bass/northern fishing. In general fishing was pretty good for the limited time I was out.
Tonight I finally think I figured out a noise I had been hearing time and time again when I had been out fishing along the main channel areas. The noise sounds like a quiet bull frog. The conclusion I have come to is the noise is coming from the sheep head. From what I have heard, this species of fish has a marble type bone in its head that it is able to vibrate and produce sound! It is really strange when you hear it and try to figure out what it is.
There was a major may fly hatch of the miniature species on the Minnesota side tonight.
