Big Red Day on the Water

My last day on the lakes this season was on Nov 10th. It was actually not that cold but still cool enough for me to bring “Big Red” out of the closet, my heavy duty down jacket that makes me look like the Michelin Man!! Whatever makes it comfortable to get the last few days on the water before freezeup. We went to Stump lake and it was windy so it confined us to fishing a couple of the side bays that are fishable even in a strong southeast wind. It was a great few hours on the water, catching some very nice rainbows on small leeches suspended under an indicator. Here is one of the fish caught and released that day. Time to put the boat away until next April!!
