[#0000FF]Not "playing down" anything. Just remarking that ol' Starvy ain't what she used to was. I am properly grateful for anything I can get. Tugs is tugs.
And I was brung up on trout so they will always have a place in my angler's heart. I especially like the rainbows in Starvy. They are a different strain...from the Jones Hole hatchery. They grow fast, get big and really bend yer stick and zing yer string.
The walleye was right at 3#. I'd rather have a limit of 16 to 20 inchers than one or two big mamas. Fun to tussle with the bigguns but the littler ones are just right for the plate...and better eatin' too.
I was leaning toward Willard but with the muddy water from the last blow and a forecast for breezier conditions today I opted to go further east. Kinda glad I did. Even if it wasn't a barn-burner it WAS a fun trip and some good eats.
