9-5-14 Fri. Fishing Bear lake with Jeremy, Colton, Eon and myself 6-8PM
Weather: 66°, calm, clear
Where: Bear lake
Caught: Colton: 21" pike

Comments:

I took Jeremy and his two boys out fishing tonight. The only reels and poles I had were bait casters, so lessons were in order before we hit the water. We started out with a few practice casts in the cabin yard, then we move to the lake.
We did have a few backlashes, but the boys did real well for their first experience with bait casters. Colton was the only one to catch a fish, but Eon and I had a strike or two.

Observations:

The lake water is dark and very high. The wild rice is completely around the lake but it is not ripe.
