The hot spots right now are too numerous to list, but I’ll cover some of them. Keep in mind that wind [...]

Spring is officially here this week – March 21. This is the leading edge for some of the best fishing in 25 years or so. Just pick a lake, river, or stream and go, that is, unless it is still not accessible due to snowpack or ice cover, or [...]

First, sorry for last week’s fishing report glitches: one was a computer glitch, cyber ghost or whatever. The other was a combination computer issue and a glitch in the aging gray substance between my ears while running around getting things underway for the ISE Show. Sorry, I’ll try to make [...]
