which looked like it would be a bit of a challenge.

Fishing on Big Cedar Lake, June 21, 2010

Big Cedar is a spring-fed lake in Washington County, Wisconsin. We each caught one fish that evening, under a threat of storms that never arrived. We had to compete with a bunch of serious fishermen for space on the lake due to a Pike Tournament that we were not aware of. Fun!

Fly Fishing the Huron River July 3rd.

Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass on the Huron River at the Dexter-Huron Metropark near Dexter MI. We fished in the AM for about 4 hours and Kathy caught one Smallmouth. She made good use of our new Wading Staff (a Father's Day Gift Card purchase) when she pained her knee while negotiating some rapids. Half an hour later she was right as rain. Check out all those neat gadgets!
