FIELD NOTES...
Walleye Notes
Erie: According to the MDNR the daily possession limit for walleyes in Michigans waters of Lake
Erie will remain at six through April 30, 2016. This
regulations process is critical to helping us manage
walleyes in Lake Erie in a timely manner, said DNR
Lake Erie Basin Coordinator Jim Francis. In order
to do that, we have to set regulations in March instead of the previous autumn. The Total Allowable
Catch for Lake Erie for 2015 is 4.114 million fish,
making Michigans quota 240,000 fish.
Saginaw Bay: The MDNR is also in the process
of jaw tagging nearly 3,000 walleyes in Saginaw Bay
this spring. Anglers are asked to collect information
on tagged fish they catch and to report it to the DNR.
About 10 percent of the tags include a $100 reward
for reporting the tag. Each tag is stamped with a
unique identifying number and a P.O. box address. If
anglers prefer, they can report their tagged walleyes

prefer.
The Macomb County chapter of Pheasants Forever will hold its 6th annual Youth Shotgun Skills &
Safety Clinic on Saturday June 6, 2015 at the River
Bends Park Trap Range. The Clinic will focus on
safe gun handling as well as actual one-on-one shooting instruction using thrown clay targets. This clinic
is an ideal way for youths to get hands-on experience
in safe shotgun handling and shooting. Very often
parents and guardians dont have the equipment or
other means to offer this type of instruction, and
Pheasants Forever is pleased to bring this educational
forum to the community.
The Clinic is open to youths, both boys and girls,
from ages 10-18. Included will be instruction on safe
handling and operation of shotguns. After a thorough
Gun Safety and Operation Lesson youths will be
instructed one-on-one on the proper form, aiming,
and firing of a shotgun at a thrown clay target. Its
anticipated that each youth will shoot at approximately 25 clay targets. A pizza lunch will be served
after the clinic.
Participants should bring a shotgun of their
choosing. Preferably an open-choked gun in either
20 gauge or 12 gauge. For those without a shotgun, a
limited number of 20 gauge guns will be available for
use and 12 gauge and 20 gauge target shells will be

TURKEY MADNESS
By Jerry Lambert
The authors brother had to watch these big toms walk away as they wouldnt separate for an ethical shot!
their effervescent feathers. The hens
are leading them on a direct
path to our two decoys. I get numerous shots with my camera and Jeff
waits patiently with his stick and
string.
When the hens reach the decoys
the four toms are just 40 yards out.
Jeff chooses to wait until the toms
reach the decoys that we have set up a
mere 10 yards from the blind. I switch
the camera to video, to capture the
moment. If there was ever a turkey
hunting slam dunk, than this would
be it.
As I attempt to get all four toms in
the frame, they abruptly turn and walk
directly away. Jeff draws his bow but
by the time he is at full draw they are
over 50 yards away. Jeff passes on the
long shot and attempts to call them
back. All four toms ignore him and
bee-line for a distant hen that has appeared a couple hundred yards away.
I tease Jeff, Thats what you get
when you bring a bow to a gun fight.
Truth is; we werent that disappointed.
We had a great morning and this just
meant that we got to do it all over
again the following morning.
The next day, the four toms
went in the opposite direction but a
curious jake showed an interest in
Jeffs display of fake turkeys and
offered a close shot. This time Jeff
closed the deal and enjoyed a fantastic

arms.
Making it legal to take small game
from treestands is primarily designed
to expand opportunities for success
among hunters who are already hunting from elevated positions. Although
it is currently legal to shoot turkeys
from treestands with bow and arrow,
the change will not make it legal for
hunters to shoot turkeys with firearms
from elevated positions.
We havent had requests from
turkey hunters to harvest birds this
way, DNR upland bird specialist
Al Stewart said. It is illegal to hunt
turkeys over bait. We generally listen
to what our hunters have to say.
The area open to sharp-tailed
grouse hunting south of Sault Ste.
Marie would be almost doubled if
the expansion is approved. An area
encompassing 518 square miles east
of I-75 was opened to sharp-tailed
grouse hunting in 2010. The new area,
most of which is west of I-75, is 408
square miles in size.
Based on surveys of sharp-tailed
grouse populations in hunted and
unhunted areas, the hunter harvest of
sharp-tails has had no obvious impact.
Much of the land in both parcels is
privately owned, but Al Stewart said
some landowners in the parcel where
sharp-tail hunting is currently legal
The area open to sharp-tailed grouse hunting south of Sault Ste. Marie would
be almost doubled if the expansion is approved.
are enrolled in the DNRs Hunter
Access Program and others in the
new area are expected to participate
in the program. Under that program,
landowners receive compensation for
allowing hunting on their property.
An estimated 350 to 400 bird
hunters have taken advantage of the
eastern UPs limited sharp-tail grouse
season since 2010. A season was
reopened in 2010 after having been
closed since 1998. No changes in season dates or bag limits are anticipated.
The current sharp-tail grouse season
is October 10-31. Theres a two-bird
daily bag limit, a possession limit of
four and a season limit of six birds.

he prevalence rate of TB
among deer in the northeast
Lower Peninsula (LP) has
dropped to the lowest level
recorded since surveillance
for the disease started in 1995, according to DNR veterinarian Dr. Steve
Schmitt. He told the Natural Resources Commission at their meeting on
April 9 in Lansing that the prevalence
rate of TB among whitetails in deer
management unit (DMU) 452 was 1%
during 2014.
The apparent prevalence rate for
the disease in DMU 452 each of the
previous two years was 1.7%. The
number of diseased deer in the TB
Zone has slowly, but steadily, declined
since 1995. The prevalence rate of the
disease among the states deer was
4.9% in 1995.
Schmitt said that 12 out of 4,256
whitetails tested for the disease from
2014 tested positive. Twenty-one out
of 5,868 deer tested for 2013 were
confirmed to have the disease. Out of
4,721 whitetails examined from those
collected in 2012, 23 had TB.

ichigan turkey
hunters are lucky
because they can
go afield when
weather is ideal,
warm, and sunny
and the gobblers
are still active.
Choose hunt number 0234 to take
advantage of warm weather turkey

huntingdrawings or
from a license agent
over the counter
and the hunt begins
May 4 and runs
until May 31, 2015.
More importantly,
hunting pressure is
very low and birds
are relaxed, active,
strutting, fanning
and eager to respond
to turkey calls.
You will need to
make a few alterations to your hunting clothing if you
want to fool wary
toms during the late
season. In order to match your hunting clothing with the green Michigan
environment you need to use green
camo. Perhaps one of the hottest camo
patterns going is the U.S. Forces forest green or tiger stripe. Advantage
By Kenny Darwin
the turkey numbers were at an alltime low and they wanted no birds
harvested. Smart hunters have made
the switch from northern counties to
turkey rich lands found in southern
Michigan.
As spring progresses and grass
or ferns grow tall, openings in the
forest disappear. Thats when you
want to concentrate your efforts along
the edges of open fields. The key to
harvesting wise old gobblers found in
fields depends on several important
factors. First, you have to find them,
which can take plenty of scouting.
Once you locate the tom you want,
try to determine his travel route. One
strategy is to set up along his route
with decoys and calls. Figure out a
toms pattern, set up close and you
can have almost instant success. Other
gobblers will usually follow routes
taken by hens. In this case, you try to
get within shotgun range of hens as
they leave the field. Love sick toms
will follow.
Truth is, big old, wary toms that
look precarious in open fields are very
difficult to harvest. They use their
keen eyesight to catch predators or
hunters sneaking toward them. They
stay cautiously behind hens and use
them as guards to protect their travel
route and detect hunters. If a hen
detects danger she gives an alarm
putt, scoots for safety and the big tom
immediately knows there is danger.
Trying to call a tom to thick brush or
woods is somewhat difficult, smart
Late season toms are still displaying. Early morning and late afternoon is prime time for birds to display in agricultural fields.

SWIMBAITS:
Easy to use and
they CATCH FISH
Cover Story...By Mark Martin
Cast. Retrieve. Repeat.
Except for setting the
hook and fighting a fish,
that is all there is to
fishing with swimbaits!
How To Do
16
The slow, steady retrieve of a swimbait is what fooled this nice walleye that
the author is holding. by David A. Rose photo
forage at hand.
These baits work great in water 12
feet and under; thus I find the lightestweight lures, which that dont sink too
quickly and have the most life-like
action, work best.
With that said, I generally use 1/8to 1/4-ounce swimbaits most often.
This weight bait tends to be shorter in
length than heavier ones, measuring in
at 2 to 3 inches. There are also shorter,
1/32- and 1/16-ouncers on the market. These tiny versions are great for
panfish whether its crappie, bluegills
or perch youre targeting.
For the most part, in water any
deeper than 12 feet, I use the 3/8- to
3/4-ouncers, no matter the size of the
forage base in a lake.
As for shape and color of swimbaits I choose, that depends on the
waters I am fishing.
In waterways where shad, bluegills, and crappie are the main forage, the short fat profile of one of the
many Storms WildEye Live series
of swimbaits is great. Where shiners, perch, and other slender-shaped
forage is present, one of the many
Berkley PowerBait Slim Shad or
Gulp! Swimmo baits, coupled with a
VMC DHHJ Hammer Head Jig, will
do the trick.
Color, on the other hand, depends

starts the last weekend
of April state-wide. Bass are abundant
and havent been thrown at (legally
anyway) since last fall. Theyre also
getting ready to spawn, which can
make them easy targets. I dont like
catching them right off of bedsand
the four lakes here that are attached to
the Great Lakes have big goby populations. Studies show that these voracious little invaders move in immediately and eat bass eggs when an angler
pulls a bass off a bed. But these lakes
provide lots of bass that are roaming
flats and/or tight to structure this time
of year, so you can catch loads of fish
without interfering with reproduction.

The Department of Natural Resources confirmed a new state record last month for freshwater drum
caught by Mark Leep of Middleville on Gun Lake in Barry County Saturday, Jan. 24, at 4:30 p.m. Leep
was spearing. The fish weighed 28.61 pounds and measured 34.02 inches. Kregg Smith, a DNR fisheries
biologist in Plainwell, verified the record, the first record caught in 2015. James Black caught the previous state-record freshwater drum, weighing 26 pounds and measuring 37.5 inches, on Muskegon Lake
May 28, 1973. In Michigan, freshwater drum typically inhabit the Great Lakes or their tributaries. Based
on the size of this fish, it found its way to Gun Lake several years ago, perhaps through illegal stocking,
as there are limited connections to a large river system. Anglers are reminded that transferring fish from
one water body to another is prohibited without an approved permit, because such transfers can disrupt
the fish community in the receiving water through predation, competition with native species or introduction of new disease-causing organisms. State records are recognized by weight only. To qualify for a state
record, fish must exceed the current listed state-record weight, and a DNR fisheries biologist must verify
identification. For more information on fishing in Michigan, visit michigan.gov/fishing.

The DNR announced that the application to nominate forest land for
enrollment in Michigans Forest Legacy Program is available online. The
program protects private forest lands from conversion to nonforest uses.
Completed applications and all required documentation must be postmarked and submitted to the Forest Legacy Program by Friday, June 12,
2015.
Michigans Forest Legacy Program uses federal and matching funds to
purchase fee ownership or development rights and conservation easements
(legally binding agreements transferring a negotiated set of property rights
from one party to another) on environmentally important forests within
designated geographic areas, known as Forest Legacy Areas. This can be
accomplished either by bringing the land into public ownership or without
removing the property from private ownership.
Sustainable forest management is as vital to the integrity of private
forest land as it is to public land, said Kerry Wieber, forest land administrator with the DNR Forest Resources Division. Through the Forest Legacy
Program, were able to leverage federal funds to assist people who want to
make sure their forest land continues to provide a home for wildlife, a place
for recreation and a source of timber for the forest products industry.
It is important to note that all easements and interests in land acquired
by the Forest Legacy Program last forever, and must contain agreements
and language to ensure perpetuity of the easements. Michigans program
also requires that the land be open to the public for nonmotorized access
at a minimum. Additionally, landowners are required to prepare a management plan for their property.
Participation in Forest Legacy is limited to private forest landowners.
The federal government may fund up to 75 percent of program costs, with
at least 25 percent coming from private, state or local sources. In addition
to gains associated with the sale or donation of property rights, many landowners may also benefit from reduced taxes associated with limits placed
on land use.
For more information about the Forest Legacy Program, visit www.

soil and enrich the earth with nitrogen
and water and air temperatures remain
warm, you can count on mushrooms
responding. Key elements for top
moral growth include soil type, moisture, and temperature and sun exposure. South facing slopes with sandy
loam are first to produce because they
quickly warm. As May progresses,
look on north slopes, along creeks,
lowlands and under decaying trees.
Perhaps the most important element in finding morels has everything
to do with decaying trees that enrich
the soil and create ideal morel growing conditions. Look under dying
apple trees, ash, elm, poplar, aspen
and more. The trick is to be on the
lookout for trees with bark that is
starting to peel off the tree. There
is a 3-5 year period of decay when
trees create ideal conditions for morel
growth. Decaying trees enrich the
soil with the proper nutrients to make
mushrooms grow. Look on the downwind side of dying trees and along the
root systems. Not all morels grow at
the base of trees. Dying trees are easy
to spot and several dead trees in close
proximity are likely candidates.
Im nuts about looking under dying elm trees in southern Michigan.
In fact, if you go hunting with me you
would be amazed at the deadly tactic
used. I simply stroll from dead tree to
dead tree and spend more time looking up to find decaying limbs than I
spend scanning the terrain. Ive found
bushels of morels under dead elm in
farm lanes, fencerows, yards in the
city, tree lines along the expressway

CRANKING IT UP
28
In early May when the surface water temperature is around 50 degrees or below, crankbait
trolling is one of the best ways to target post-spawn
walleye. A few key elements must be applied to effectively catch walleye on crankbaits in cold water.
Slow trolling speeds are needed to tempt strikes
from fish that are not exactly in a mood to chase
down food. For crankbait trolling speeds in the 1.2
to 1.5 MPH range are considered essential to triggering strikes from post-spawn walleye.
Auto-pilot electric motors like MotorGuides
new Xi5 are ideal for trolling at these slow speeds.
Not only do these electric motors have rheostat
speed controls that allow anglers to dial in any
desired trolling speed, the auto-pilot function keeps
the boat on course freeing up the angler to set lines,
adjust lead lengths and change out lures as necessary.
The second essential to effectively catching
post-spawn walleye on crankbaits is selecting lures
that have a subtle but seductive action. In general,
long slender minnow divers are the best baits for
spring walleye trolling. These lures can be stickbaits that only dive a few feet or minnow divers
which dive as deep as 30 feet or more.
Stickbaits can be fished in combination with
snap weights to help them achieve a little more
depth. Diving minnow baits are controlled in the
water column by simply controlling the lead length.
Often a mixture of stickbaits and minnow divers
produces the best results. Great stickbaits for postspawn walleye trolling the Rapala Husky Jerk 14,
Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow, Smithwick Perfect 10 and
the Reef Runner Ripstick.
In the minnow diver category, must have
crankbaits include the Rapala Deep Husky Jerk 12,
Reef Runner 600 and 800 series, Smithwick Super
Rogue and Berkley Flicker Minnow No. 7.
All of these lures will perform best when fished
The authors wife Mari knows how to get the most from Board Games on the Great Lakes. Mark Romanack photos
in combination with a set-up of in-line planer
boards. In-line boards are preferred for cold water
trolling applications compared to traditional planer
board mast systems. Mast system planer boards
function best when used at trolling speeds of from
1.8 to 3.0 MPH making them a poor choice for cold
water trolling applications.
At the slow speeds needed to target walleye
bites in May, in-line boards allow anglers to troll
as slow as necessary. A standard set up for in-line
boards features either two or three boards per side
of the boat. This set up makes for a manageable
number of lines, yet allows the angler plenty of
flexibility in lure choices and target depths.
In May post-spawn walleye can be found anywhere in the water column from a few feet below
the surface to a few feet above bottom. The best
way to approach this situation is to trust in your
electronics and target the fish you see on the graph.
Not only are in-line boards an affordable means of getting started trolling, they function very well at all
walleye fishing presentations including slow trolling in cold water.
based on the size of the weight used and the trolling speed. Because neither of these weight systems
actually dive, they are best suited for targeting fish
in the top 15 foot of the water column.
Reaching walleye that are suspended deeper in
the water column is a job best left to a newer trolling weight called the Tadpole Diver. Produced by
Off Shore Tackle, the Tadpole sinks but also dives
like a crankbait making it a much more efficient
means of targeting deeper walleye. Produced in
four sizes, the No. 1 and No. 2 sizes are the ones
most popular with walleye trollers.
The Tadpole is fished by attaching it to the
fishing line with a snap and then attaching the
desired spinner rig to the back of the Tadpole. The
snap slides to an elbow on the Tadpole causing the
weight to dive. When a fish is hooked, the snap
slides to the forward position on the Tadpoles tow
arm effectively converting the Tadpole from a diver
to an in-line weight.
The beauty of this system is the Tadpole dives
exceptionally well making it the most efficient
means of targeting deeper walleye. Just as important, when a fish is hooked the angler isnt fighting

Traverse City Field Office fisheries management biologist Heather Hettinger said its pretty
hard to beat lakes Charlevoix, Leelanau, Torch and
Walloon when it comes to smallmouth bass. The
problem with my lakes with largemouth is that they
are small, and cant really handle all that much
pressure. And truthfully, even my good largemouth
lakes are pretty mediocre compared to others in
the state. These bigger systems are much better at
sustaining good populations of big smallies, even
under pressure. My area of the state rules for smallies! declared Hettinger.

lakes.
617-acre Fife Lake in Grand Traverse County has been considered one
of northwest Michigans best lakes
for walleye and smallmouth for years.
Surveys conducted there in 2013
seem to indicate that largemouth bass
are taking over there, too. Of particular concern in the Fife Lake survey
was the absence of smaller fish. Another trend from the 2013 survey was
that fewer fish were caught overall
called Big Clam Lake, while 1,150acre Lake Cadillac was called Little
Clam Lake. To some degree, theyre
joined at the hip, said Department of
Natural Resources fisheries biologist Mark Tonello, who oversees the
lakes. Theyre similar in a lot of
ways. There are some differences,
too, though the differences seem to
have lessened over the years.
The fish communities in both
lakes have changed over the last
couple of decades, becoming more
homogenized. They went from basically walleye/pike-dominant lakes
that had some bass in them to now
being viewed as bass lakes. Pike
are still prevalent but walleyes are a
smaller part of the fish community
than they used to be and they no
longer reproduce. We have to supplement them with stocking. Tonello
indicated that similar changes are taking place on Missaukee and Fife lakes
where largemouth bass are becoming
the predominate specie.
Tonello says what happened is a
bit puzzling, but there are a few theories. Largemouth bass have always
been the dominant bass species on
Lake Mitchell but in the last 20 years
they have exploded, Tonello said.
Twenty-five years ago, Lake Cadillac was virtually all smallmouth bass.
Now we see largemouth have become
more dominant -- 60 percent largemouth, 40 percent smallmouth.
Tonello said he suspects bass
tournaments might have played a part
in the change as many tournaments
go out of a Lake Cadillac site and
largemouth bass, often caught in Lake
Mitchell, wind up getting released
into Lake Cadillac.
We also think it might be
climate, Tonello said. A warmer
climate probably favors a species like
largemouth over walleye and smallmouth because a warmer climate
favors more plant growth, which will
benefit a weed-loving species like
largemouth bass.
Theres some research coming
out Minnesota and Wisconsin thats
showing the same phenomenon,
where bass populations are exploding to the detriment of walleye, he
continued. They believe largemouth
bass have the ability to suppress
walleye year-classes, likely through
predation.
A change in angler behavior - i.e.
more catch-and-release fishing - probably benefits the bass population,
too. Twenty-five or 30 years ago,
more people were keeping bass than
they are today, Tonello said. But
if youre a tournament bass angler,
youll absolutely love Mitchell and
Cadillac because the bass fishing is
terrific. Most boats in most tournaments limit out. There are a lot of
two- to four-pound bass in those

So what kind of features are available to todays tech-savvy angler? The list honestly seems to grow every day!
Lowrances HDS Gen3 series of units are serious
contenders for your attention. The list of features is
too long to cover here, but we would like to discuss
a couple that can be of particular interest to fellow
walleye anglers.
Lowrance recently worked with MotorGuide to
create the Pinpoint Gateway system to connect the
MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor to Lowrance HDS
units. This connects the Xi5 to the Lowrance NMEA
network in your boat and allows you to use the
stored information in the HDS units (like your waypoints) to position the boat. You can use the Xi5s
Anchor Mode to anchor the boat on a waypoint or
you can use Heading Lock to troll to a way point.
One of the really exciting things coming down the
line is the ability for the Xi5 to follow a route stored
on the HDS unit. Especially on the new Gen 3 HDS
units, making a route is extremely fast and easy. So
if you see a contour that you want to move along,
you simply press your finger on several points along
the contour and tell the motor to follow it.
Another feature that we really feel is going to
change how anglers look at GPS mapping is Lowrances Insight Genesis. This feature gives you the
ability to create your own contours maps. Basically
you can drive around a lake, reservoir, or river, log
your sonar data, upload it to the Insight Genesis
website, and have precise information generated for
you that can be displayed back on your Lowrance
HDS units. This data has precise contours, but you
can also get bottom-hardness data and vegetation data. The bottom-hardness data is particularly
interesting to walleye anglers because walleyes like
to concentrate on hard to soft bottom transitions. So
going back to creating a route, if you have that hardness data (which usually does not match the contour
data) you could create a route on the hard to soft
transition and then have the Xi5 follow that. Unreal
stuff for sure!

icroaggression thrives
beyond our city streets
and college campuses.
It thrives in our woods
and streams.
Apparently the term microaggression has been in use for 45 years,
ever since it was coined by psychiatrist and Harvard University professor
Chester M. Pierce.
A recent story in The Ithaca
Voice, an online newspaper serving
the Ithaca area, reports that a new
Ithaca College student government
bill proposes a platform that lets students report microaggressions online.
In other words it would require Ithaca
College to start taking names and
kicking what? Aspects beyond taking the reports have yet to be worked
out.
Freshman Angela Pradhan says,
Microaggressions are statements
by a person from a privileged group
that belittles or isolates a member of
an unprivileged group, as it relates to
race, class, gender, sexual orientation,
ability and more.
Examples include statements
like Where are you really from?
You speak good English, and You
dont look disabled.
The website www.microaggressions.com yes, it actually exists
adds further texture to the explanation:
Microaggressions often, are never meant to hurt acts done with little
conscious awareness of their meanings and effects. Instead, their slow
accumulation during a childhood and
over a lifetime is in part what defines
a marginalized experience,
Ive been marginalized by Nature
as it relates to my abilities. Instances
have slowly accumulated during my
lifetime, and now I can see they define
such marginalization.
More often than not its happened
in the springs turkey woods.
The first year I drew a turkey
hunting permit was 1976. I studied
and read so much and took so many
notes in preparation that I was able
to hand my buddy a six-page, singlespace prcis entitled, Terrible Toms
Terrific Tom Turkey Tips. So, yeah,
I had prepared as well as possible; I
knew my stuff.
What I couldnt prepare for because I had never experienced it until
then, however, was Natures First
Law of Tom in Motion When Immobile.
The first morning of the hunt I
was cold and tired having awakened
at three oclock. I wanted to get going early enough to walk quietly the
half-mile from the parking area to the
hunting spot I had so carefully chosen.

for Angela, and it was easy to see how
much she enjoyed this encounter. We
snapped a few quick pictures and carried on.
We walked and called about every

some of the distance off before calling

As we closed the distance the bird

bird to me. Often times, when you
cut a lot of distance between you and

youre going to continue his way and

ADVENTURE
Boat Smart...
By Capt. Fred Davis
The Team, Pierre Pepin, Jennifer Gosselin and 4 year-old Jasmine paddle
along a Key Largo waterway. Michael Ouellet photo
Lakes to the Mississippi and into the
Gulf of Mexico.
As I checked out their campsite
with all their gear they told me about
some of their experiences and how
they had determined the trip could be
made.
The Sea Clipper draws four inches
of water when loaded with an average
400 pounds of gear. A Dromedary bag
holds 100 pounds of water and their
dehydrated food supplies are picked
up at designated drop points along
the route. A waterproof box houses
their electronics; laptop, cellphone
and 7 watt, hand-held VHF. The cell
phone has an In Reach system that
provides emergency response when
activated.
Pierre said the VHF was handy
as they navigated through 120 locks
along the rivers they traveled, with
only one gruff lockmaster who was
not happy they were holding up a
large freighter. He told me because
of weight considerations, their dog
Jasmine serves as ballast while they
paddle moving back and forth as
needed. She also makes a pretty good
watchdog quickly alerting them if a
problem arises like unwanted wildlife
poking around.
While underway, the team as
they refer to themselves, paddle 20 to
50 miles a day and occasionally 24
hours to view sunrise and sunset with
a full moon following. While traveling the Great Lakes they visited Lake
Hurons North Channel and Georgian
Bay. They enjoyed Michigan and the
people they met there and hope to return someday. Lake Michigan was the
most challenging, with rough waters
that made for a tough paddle along its
shores.
Wildlife sightings were many;
bear in Canada a cougar on Drummond Island and all manner of sea
life. Weather conditions have varied
between heavy frosts to 100. While
passing through Mobile, Alabama,
they experienced record high and
low temperatures plus record high
winds.
The couple agreed their favorite
paddling experience was along the
Mississippi because it was so full of
sights and wonderful people. When a
need to ford along its length occurred,
someone was always ready to lend
a hand. One gentleman built them a
set of wheels to attach to the canoe to
make the endeavors easier.
Asked what has been the very best
part of their trip thus far, they both enthusiastically responded, The people
we met.
Many have encouraged them to
write a book detailing their trip. Until
they do, you can follow their adventure on the website and blog

While most anglers feel that April is the only time to jig for river walleye in
Michigan, the author points out that some rivers like the St. Clair and Saginaw

net, Yakima Timber Tiger and Mag
Lip 3.5. Brighter colors are favored
because the Saginaw River is silty and
turbid most of the time.
In the lower Saginaw River where
the current is exceptionally slow,
many anglers troll crankbaits on the
flats with the help of in-line planer
boards. When targeting the river channel edges, flat line trolling is generally
preferred.
Braided lines are critical to both
jigging and trolling applications on
Michigans walleye rivers. A 10# test
braided line is ideal for jig fishing applications. The low stretch characteristics of braid make it easier to detect
bottom and feel subtle strikes.
For trolling most anglers favor
30# test braid that has a diameter
about equal to eight pound test monofilament. Again the low stretch properties of braid make it easier to detect
when a crankbait is making contact
with bottom.
Jigging or trolling, anglers must
maintain contact with the bottom to
consistently catch river run walleye.
The single best way to insure your
baits are on bottom is to spool up with
braided lines.
My favorite braid is produced by
Maxima and features an eight strand
manufacturing process. The eight
strand braiding process produces a
fishing line that has a shape and handling characteristics similar to monofilament line. These lines load onto
reels properly and function flawlessly
for vertical jigging, casting and trolling applications.
Braids that are not eight strand
tend to be the less expensive brands.
These lines are flat in shape, overly
soft/limp and they bunch up when
loaded onto reel spools. Flat braids
also prevent the reels drag system
from functioning properly, making
them a poor choice for jigging or trolling.
FINAL THOUGHTS
April may be the month that
everyone gets out to target walleye on
rivers, but the month of May is still
prime time. Generally the weather
is better in May and the bite is often
much better. This year dont forget to
plan a return visit in May.n

The DNR has collaborated with a Silver Lake Off-Road Vehicle Area (SLORVA) core task group since January to develop an improved access plan for the
SLORVA.
The process began last fall to address the long waiting lines to access the ORV
area, which have caused inconvenience for the users of the area and the local community.
After the DNR's initial ORV area plan was outlined and considered last fall, the
DNR received additional public comment, resulting in a more robust process to
improve the plan.
More than 248 users participated in the first meeting in January. Three additional planning sessions followed, concluding with a final meeting involving
a 16-member core task group comprised of volunteers. Several improvement
strategies were identified. The objective is to speed up access to the ORV area by
ensuring users are dune-ready prior to arriving at the entrance to the dunes.
Strategies include:
Online instruction and educational videos.
Better educational and flow signage.
Ability to purchase ORV and trail permits and Recreation Passports off site.
More efficient check-in process and dune access.
Assessing options to expand parking.
Realignment of the site traffic flow.
Establishing a welcome center for dune information.
Local businesses, sheriff s department, emergency management, township and
road commission representatives joined Silver Lake State Park and other DNR
Parks and Recreation staff to provide input in this dynamic planning process.
ORV riders planning to visit Silver Lake should review the updated system
online at www.michigan.gov/silverlake.
There will no longer be a voucher system for dune-ready access; however, the
voucher process will be used consistent with the past process for use of the parking lots for trailered ORV units.
We have a very passionate community of ORV riders, said DNR Parks and
Recreation Chief Ron Olson. "We are glad to have their participation and input
as we work to improve Silver Lake State Park ORV Area and provide high-quality
recreation experiences that our visitors love and expect.
This season will be treated as a pilot program. Particularly on busy holiday
weekends, volunteers will assist in implementing the new procedures. The process
will be evaluated throughout the summer to ensure that it functions well, maximizes the recreational experience and creates minimal impact to the community.
For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/silverlake or contact Silver
Lake State Park Supervisor Charlotte Kiefer at 231-873-3083.

or not, he didnt care. And at the end

Unfortunately, I never got to tell
him that. However, even if I had, he

because he didnt know any better. He
didnt know any other way to be. In
addition to his love for fly-fishing, his
passion for his family, rare tree frogs,
plant species, hunting, people, friends,
and life was so genuine that I doubt
he realized how much his awesome

just him, and he didnt have to work
hard at it like most of us do. In fact,
the moment his spirit left his vibrant

A compass is a handy, simple,
inexpensive tool to keep you on the

to think about where you are going
and what is around you. You can use
it in conjunction with a topo to more

triangulate to find out where you are

or capsize.
Probably the most popular storage system is of the
homemade variety, fashioned from a milk crate or
plastic office storage crate. Usually, plastic tubes or
manufactured rod holders are zip tied to the outside of the crate. A couple of tackle trays stand on
end inside the crate along with a small cooler with
snacks, extra water and anything else you wish to
carry but arent worried about getting wet.
Besides securing the crate to the boat, youll
want to secure your rods and those tackle trays to
the crate. Another good tip to help keep things dry
is to raise the bottom of your crate or tackle box up
off the boats deck. Fishing kayaks, by design, can
be a wet ride. Four scupper holes in front and two
or more in the well behind the seat are generally left
open to allow for water running in then right back
out again. If your tackle is off the floor it will stay
drier.
One lesson youll learn quickly is everything
has its place. Crankbaits or spoons left on the floor
of the boat will usually get tangled with something
else, move so far out of reach that when you want
to use them again its more than a stretch to grasp
them and eventually, those hooks are going to find
their way into your leg or hand.
Its best to put things back in their place before
tying on something new or reaching for another rod.
Before you hit the water take some time and think
about where things could be stored that make them
handy to get to and at the same time are secure and
out of your way.
As far as equipment is concerned, if youve
already been fishing chances are you have enough
stuff to get started. Begin with one rod and a small
box of baits. Youll soon figure out that less is quite
enough when fishing from a kayak. Eventually,
youll want to install rod holders, maybe an anchor
pulley and a place for electronics like a fish finder
or GPS.

in the wild.
Many baby animals will die if removed from their natural environment,
and some have diseases or parasites that
can be passed on to humans or pets.
Some rescued animals that do survive become habituated to people and are
unable to revert back to life in the wild.
Eventually, habituated animals pose
additional problems as they mature and
develop adult animal behaviors. Habituated deer, especially bucks, can become
aggressive as they mature, and raccoons
are well-known for this too.
If you find any baby animal, it
should be left in the wild, said Vaughn.
The only time a baby animal should
be removed from the wild is when you
know the parent is dead or the animal is
injured. Please contact a local licensed
wildlife rehabilitator before removing the
animal.

Lookout.
The water temperature was just above freezing with some icebergs still bobbing around here
and there. I deployed a three rod spread with two
shallow running, gold/purple, Smithwick, Rattlin Rouges and one deep diving, Tennessee Shad,
and Husky Jerk Bait. With a 3/8 oz. rubber core
sinker installed five feet ahead of each lure, and a
turtle slow trolling speed of just below one MPH,
#5, Chrome/Shad pattern Rattling Shad Rap is awesome bait. Hot N Tots work best when walleyes
are aggressively feeding. Flashy chrome or fire/
tiger patterns are consistent spring producers. My
favorite spoons are Moonshine Walleye Spoons and
the Crab Cakes pattern has been especially hot in
recent years.
One doesnt need to troll though to get in on
the action when the walleyes are feeding on smelt.
Some anglers simply anchor up along shoreline
drop-offs and cast and jig for marauding walleyes.
Casting with body baits can be extremely productive too as can vertical jigging with a jig and
minnow. Shore bound anglers wade out as far as
they can and cast lures taking some nice fish. Ive
even caught walleyes still fishing from shore with
dead smelt. This type of fishing is best done during the low light periods of morning, evening and
after dark when the fish are more inclined to move
shallow.
Au Gres is set up really nice for traveling anglers with plenty of lodging, camping, and eatery
choices. They also have bait shops and all the
normal things you would find in a small, northern
Michigan town. There is a very nice DNR boat
launch right at the mouth of the Au Gres River that
is one of the best places to access the Bay. A few
years ago I put together an Au Gres Travel Guide
that details many of the businesses and attractions
in the area. You can find it on my website at trophyspecialists.com where I also post regular fishing
reports from Mid-April through the end of summer.

in Lake Erie and Saginaw Bay walleyes. Contact

FISHING CLASS OFFERS CLOSURE: Just
looking at that maze of tackle
you "sense" spontaneously,
virtually unerringly, how each
individual component affects
the fish audibly as well as visually, and defensively as well
as offensively. Capable now of
readily adapting to any situation, not only do you feel justified in having accumulated all
those tackle boxes full of stuff,
but even about adding more
stuff to them. No longer needing to travel miles on end to
experience top notch success
while targeting any specie we
choose, ultimately we wind up
fishing more, enjoying it more.
If you've sensed that this is how
angling could and should be,
should our instinctive approach
be followed to the letter, this is
how it can be. All species, all
baits, all presentations, all in
one session, all for as little as
$45 per person. For further details 810-395-4334 Mon.-Sat. 9
