Did Silent Lucidity catch any fish with his kid?

Hey SL! How did you and your kid do at Detroit? I hope he had a good time!

I was just coming on to track down the Detroit thread to update it.

We got there around 11ish and were instantly into fish. The first one out of the lake went all of 12" and if I had played the whole day more seriously I would have been done within a couple hours. What was funny was that we were the only one's consistantly catching fish (only four smallish kokanee of amazing colors), and I was using a jar of orange PowerBait that I bought 6 years ago and just cracked open today.

Darned near ran out of trebles though. Awfully snaggy on those stumps at the bottom and the wind did pick up some. All in all it was a great trip and Tommy was a dirty mess. Of course he fancies himself a construction worker so it's par for the course.

Thank you VERY much for the tip on where to fish. There were about 8 others there so not very crowded at all and worth the drive.

Glad to hear you had a good time! Nothing beats a kid with a fish on!
