July 4th Weekend
Since I once again ended up working on the 4th of July, I was not able to go fishing until I got up to Sawyer Lake that weekend. I don’t think I have ever seen the lake that crowded with idiots before. Not last 4th of July, not Memorial Day weekend, not even bike week. The idiots seemed to come up from the flatlands in great droves and untamed hordes. In short, it was annoying as hell. Still, even with of the drunken idiots on the swimming docks and @$$hole jet-skiers (I have reason to believe one of them ran over a loon and kept right on going), I did manage to catch a few fish. The first one was average for this lake, but the second one was approaching that 18in 3lbs mark. The fish do seem to be getting bigger around here. Here’s hoping the idiot vacationers find some way to wreck that as well. This last weekend was way better, my next post will be about that.
