Had a good day with a new acquaintance. Hes a fellow in town that runs a fly shop. I bumped elbows with him swinging hammer and he had never caught a mackinaw before. He popped his cherry on a 37” er. Mine was slightly bigger, lol. Need some smaller for the darn smoker. Always next time I suppose. [Linked Image]

I have nothing clever to put here.

Nice!!! My son does the Laker fishing also. They are a beautiful fish and are fun to catch he says. Thanks for the great pictures.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Those are some dandy looking fish.

Maybe you need a bigger smoker?

Just what kind of smoker do you have?
