Last Big Hurrah
My long time fishing pal, John Beth, made his final trip of the season to the Lake Michigan tributaries in Wisconsin. There were others there, too, about 16 all total for the day. No one caught anything–except John.
Drifting a single egg through a deep run he felt a tap, and was suddenly tight to a 30 inch female brown of 15 lbs 3 oz.
you have to know John to understand that he likes to finish the year fishing a cane rod, snd vintage reel.
The fish was a sincere handful on his gear, and John finally had to cross the river to land the very healthy fish.
Good on you John. He promised to catch one for me this fall, so I’ll say thanks, old friend.
What a great way to end the season.
