Jay and Patty and I started out on a scouting venture in mid morning.
The
object was to find some new trout water......something we'd never seen
before. Neither Jay nor I had ever fished the Silver river so we headed
off
in that direction.

I presume that this is the same Silver I'm thinking of.

Yeah, it's the one in the area we're both familiar with.

We're usually
destined to remote points east down Skanee Road but I always slow the car
as
we cross the Silver. Looks like mighty nice water.

Oddly, it looks better downstream than up. Well, not so odd for this
region......a number of others share this trait. We need to talk more about
what's down Skanee Road.

The late afternoon was better. On the way into L'Anse to get a bite to
eat

Tell me you ate at the Hilltop. Those cinnamon rolls, man oh man. And
pickled herring on the buffet...

We did indeed eat at the Hilltop......and I did have the pickled herring.
However, none of us sampled the cinnamon rolls.....we were all too full from
lunch. And, anyway, those things are scary. You could beat large
carnivorous bitey things to death with one of those. :(

Speaking of data points, here are mine on bothersome bugs up nort'. I've
been up there in late July, August, and September. I've never been
bothered
by biting or stinging insects at any of those times, although the late
July
trip there were little biting no-see-ums of some sort on the Fox. They
weren't bothersome enough to drive me off the water. The times I've been
there in late September, all of those critters were but a distant memory,
with keeping warm being a more immediate concern.

Four or five years ago, on July fourth weekend, Jay's Jeep broke down on a
long dusty dirt road somewhere between Newberry and the Fox. It was a
miserably hot and humid day. The deer flies and horse flies were about as
bad as I've ever seen them anywhere.....and this was in a pine plantation,
no open water visible and none to be found nearby on the map. We spent
several hours in hell till the tow truck showed up. Go figure.

Thanks for the report Wolfgang.

Countin' time 'til September,

Come on up this weekend.......we'll count together while teasing smallmouth.
:)

Wolfgang
