Well done! From there, you have so many choices. Fried. Baked. Chowder. Fishcakes. Fish pie. I have posted them all, and, when made with walleye, each is wonderful.

Miso marinade wings with rice pilaf. Salad too but out of the picture.

Let me know. I could use instruction from a multiple champion.

Not all run up rivers. For example on several lakes, walleye spawn on the rocked dam walls. For them, and for sauger, they need and sense flow and wave action and are looking for gravel. Others know better than I about trout or salmon, but I would imagine their needs determine their actions as well. The really interesting behaviors are that of steelhead trout. They are rainbows who choose to go to the ocean to feed, and come back to their rivers to spawn.

If the family wants a bit more, stay at Gastons and drive to Bull Shoals Dock to fish. No shows or shopping, but a serious cut above rustic.

Same is true in the White above TR and above Beaver.

Great fish! Right after I took my fourth hook, I bit the bullet and bought a Boga grip. I hooked it to a lanyard with a pool noodle section. I combined the Boga with a good pair of locking forceps. I have avoided any more personal hookups. BTW, the pool noodle has already saved me the loss of the Boga. I wasn't paying attention and a fish flopped while I was getting my phone for a picture. The fish and the Boga went over the side. I got my floating Boga and the fish back.

I was introduced to quality fishing by my father. He owned an Evinrude 18 hp motor, and we rented 14 or 15 foot aluminum boats. We fished Tenkiller, Spavinaw, Eucha, TR, and Bull Shoals. Once a year we went to Canada and used comparable boats to fish Lake of the Woods, Rough Rock Lake, and the Winnipeg River. I remember when he spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy old man Lowrance's green box. With the boat traffic now days, my insistence to drive a 16.5 foot boat is absurd. In addition, I have learned how to drive defensively on a lake! Despite these changes, I still enjoy

Oh good heavens. I have an egg, a flat top, and now you tempt me with a pizza oven? Satan, get thee behind me!

TR down river of 39 is the new LOZ. Heck, even Big M has too many destroyers. You need to move to my former end of the lake.
