VERMILLION RIVER

[EYE PROBLEM]

STOPPED BY DEN'S YESTERDAY MORNING BEFORE I HIT THE LAKE. BOUGHT A NEW TROLLING REEL, WHICH WORKS GREAT(THANKS FOR THE ADVICE DEN) TRYED TO TROLL THE RIVER UNTIL THE LAKE CALMED DOWN, NO LUCK, TO SHALLOW. MADE IT ON THE LAKE ABOUT 10:00AM. CAUGHT 2 SMALL STEELHEADS 1-20" AND 1 -22" TROLLING PLUGS. FOUND ALOT OF BIG BOTTOM MARKS IN FRONT OF THE FORD ASSEMBLY PLANT, IN 26FT. JIGGED FOR A COOUPLE OF HOURS AND GOT 1 SWEAR TO GOD 13" RAINBOW TROUT. ALL IN ALL NOT BAD, JUST HAPPY TO HAVE BOAT ON THE LAKE. BE OUT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND, WEATHER PERMITTING. TIGHT LINES, EYE PROBLEM

Where did you launch at? Are any of the docks in? Was there a lot of floating debris in the lake?

LAUNCHED AT THE PUBLIC RAMPS, THE DOCKS ARENT IN YET. THERE WASNT TO MUCH STUFF, MOSTLY LEAVES, BUT THE WATER IS MUDDY.

Thanks for the info, Weather permitting I'll be up there on Saturday morning. Is there a "soft" place to beach the boat after launching so that you can climb aboard the boat?

Thanks Again,
Stinky Fingers

THERE IS REALLY NO SPOT CLOSE, BUT THERE IS A SMALL CONCRETE PAD THAT STICKS OUT FAR ENOUGH TO TIE YOUR BOAT TO WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR TRAILER ITS NOT TOO HARD, I WAS BY MYSELF AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. TIGHT LINES!

Thanks, I just needed a place to pick up my buddy after he parks the truck.

If you go on Saturday, what time are you planning on heading up there. It would be nice to know that someone else is going to be out there. In case of a probelm or a breakdown..

Thanks
