"Write something every day" they told me.
Two young guys crossing an item off their bucket list. I propose you stop at the 23:30 mark. After that there is wind, rain and words that should have been BLEEPED out.
For those of you who come from crowded places, it may be disorienting to know that there are rivers where you can boat for 45 miles and not see more than five or ten buildings from the water.
Good walleye and Brown Trout and Smallmouth fishing. Above the dam there is good Northern Pike action and at the mouth of the river and at the base of the dam there are Channel and Flathead Catfish. Much of the river is sandy-bottomed and the fish hang out in the snags, brush and stumps that washed into the river.
Interesting, thanks!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the recent news report of the urban ladies who went tubing on the Muskegon? They had to be rescued after an unplanned bivouac, seems they thought the river circled back to where it started.

I remember reading stories in Outdoor Life - Sports Afield 1970's magazines about using a small outboard motor to travel upriver in a canoe for some miles, than float back down back to trailered vehicle, fishing and (if far enough) overnight camping.
ReplyDeleteI thought the video above was pretty crazy, they were driving around snags like an obstacle course !
Back when I was a teenager, 45 horsepower was a "big" outboard. Now 225hp are as common as dirt and multiple 300hp are not uncommon.

I was impressed by the aluminum hulled boat. Obviously, it could take a beating.
