On the April 19 weekend we took a trip to Licavoli Lodge in search of spring steelheads. Tom & Sam cooked a great breakfast

Dom and Sammy at the Oqueoc Falls. No steelies were upstream at this date.

Dom fished a hole on the "secret river". No fish were spotted in rivers the entire weekend. The river water temp. was 37 degrees.

Sam checked out a map, searching in vain for a likely spot.

We even went underground to check out promising locations. Who is on the trespass side?

In Rogers City. A couple of fish were hooked in the evening throwing Cleos.

Joe and Dale drove up Saturday and joined in a steak fry.

We ate well on this weekend.

Tommy did land a sucker while surf fishing. We hooked a couple of trout, but landed none.

Someone had to be the first to fish in Vince's Pond. Besides, it gave me a chance to break in my Christmas gift.

On the way home, Tommy, Dom & Sammy detoured to Grindstone for trout, but instead they caught some huge smallmouths.

Dan Johnson (pictured here) and brother Dave fished out of AuGres this past weekend. See Fishing Report

Dave & Dan landed these beauties - all over 22" on Saturday. Rappala's, Bombers and crawler harness did the trick.

On the evening of 4/23 we Sam, Lu, Rhonda & I took a drive to the "Stone".

We were targeting steelhead, but the smallmouth's were hitting.

This picture caught a fish in mid-jump.
