Lake Michigan Whitefish
<p>Made a trip to the Green Bay, WI area on Saturday with Avidfly and TonyS. &nbsp;Fishing a spoon/slider fly rig I managed to catch five lake whitefish. &nbsp;Others were caught by Tony and Avid, and we enjoyed a great day on the ice while learning a few tidbits about this awesome fish. &nbsp;This was the most successful whitefishing I had ever experienced. &nbsp;Four of my fish were caught on a small swedish pimple fished right on the bottom, and one took a small orange scud fly. &nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="http://www.roughfish.com/sites/default/files/lkwht_1_sm.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 559px;" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="http://www.roughfish.com/sites/default/files/lkwht_2_sm.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 534px;" /></p>

Well, won't be making it out

Well, won't be making it out due to the Mackinaw Bridge being closed due to weather :(

Bummer that you couldn't go.

Bummer that you couldn't go.  This last weather event screwed a lot of stuff up, including my plans to be at the International Eelpout Festival right now.  The roads were just plain undrivable today!
