I have had a number of folks ask me to let them know when
the fall salmon run begins, so I spent a whole day behind my windshield
yesterday checking out Lake Superior tributaries for signs that it has begun.
Alas, there is no joy in Mudville.
I was actually a bit encouraged on my first stop as I saw a
bald eagle feeding across the river. Unfortunately, the river was too deep to
cross and I couldn't get a good look at what it was eating. I was then lucky
enough to run into two gentlemen from the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources who told me what I suspected … they have heard no reports of fish in
the rivers except for one person who told them he had caught two fish near the mouth of the Presque Isle.
I still had a fun day scouting the water and even had a
chance to visit with this goose. He or she (I can never tell which is which)
was alone and swam off when I began to throw a few casts. Stay tuned to my blog and I will let you know
when I have better news.
