Welston (Tippy Dam ) Report
#1
Not much to say other than it was a good day to be outdoors after temps 40 degrees and below .
There were probably a good 50 or 60 waders and a half dosen boats out from the coffer on down to the Tunk Hole on Sunday .
I started at the coffer just after daybreak , from top to bottom , all the way untill noon .

Home tied spawn in red, yellow, and chartrouse and in different sized bags had no infalounce on the fish holding bottom . I switched over to flys off and on just to see if anything would hit , no responce there either .
Mini-thundersticks , rattle traps and j-plugs , zip - zero - nadda !

I had purchased some $1.00 #1 Willy's Worms ( It's something like a bomber lure but made from a solid mold ) at that outdoor discount store in Pinconning and gave them a shot. The little browns were tearing that thing up ! No keepers but plenty of thumps to keep you sharp incase a steelie hit .

Must of been the sunshine , could have been the aproaching rainstorms but whatever the reason , the fish just wern't hitting .
I never saw anyone fighting a fish at all , there was the ocasional angler that got peoples hopes up only to reel in a huge monobunny .
Yea , monobunny , houses have dustbunnys , rivers have monobunnys , balls of disguarded fishingline that spent the winter hugging the bottom.
I left around 3:30 P.M. , feet were frose and I needed some fish from the freeser to finish out the day .

you usin home frozen or home dryed spawn?

I can remember the hay day of the foote dam. jeese loweese was there mono bunnies, and spider bunnies and spoon bunnies, all kinds of river bottom bunnies. ya had to watch out for the spider bunnies, they were the worst. if the dnr man saw you with one in your box you just bought your self a ticket to the green ball. I had to keep a pair of side cutters to cut off the barbs from the trebles, that was the only way to be sure you wouldnt get in trouble. you couldnt even throw them in the can cause if they saw you do that you would get a ticket.
