Our good friend, Dave Zapf, took this picture of me just about devouring a little walleye–or, as he calls it, walleye “sushi”. The fish from Canada’s Lake Lac Seul come in all sizes but leave it up to me to catch a rare little one from this great fishery! (P.S.-That fish should be about a…

Matt Speicher’s NE Iowa Trout Fishing Report
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
With the vast majority of Iowa rivers surging with high water making the majority of them unfishable, why not hit up a NE Iowa trout stream? Trout streams, for the most part, remain clear and the fish are HUNGRY! Drew, a good friend of mine, caught 17 trout Saturday…including a couple of nice browns on…

While fishing a small pond a few weeks back, I met some great folks. This pike was taken through a tip up, and took some time to get in. Thanks again for your efforts and making sure Brady had a great time. Chris Speicher
Dave and Brady Catching some Gills
by Chris Speicher, NPAA #816 •
My good friend Dave and his son Brady invited me to do some ice fishing with them a short three weeks ago. Hard to believe it’s snowing again here in Illinois. We had a heck of a good time catching many Blue Gills. I also want to thank the friends that we met on the ice, who added to the excitement when a 30+ Pike took one of their tip ups. Now all we have to do is wait till next year.
Big Salmon on Lake Michigan!
by Chris Speicher, NPAA #816 •
Kenosha Harbor is a great place to go for the big four-year old King Salmon! What a hoot fishing in the harbor with shore anglers casting out to catch ’em and Dad trying to keep the Lund far enough away so we wouldn’t get caught up in any of the shore angler lines. Can’t say he…

Good-bye Winter Ice, Hello Spring Open Water!!
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
Matt, Jarrod, Mike, and I went to Lake Mille Lacs together in January. We stayed with Patti and John Odle at their Rocky Reef Resort. Really nice folks who work hard to help their customers happy whether it’s on the ice or open water. We didn’t catch many that trip but it was fun driving the…
Marty Barski Catches a Walleysky!
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
Pretty corny, huh? Our good friend from Chicago, Marty Barski, was Chris Burns’ co-angler partner during the 2009 FLW Walleye Tour events. Marty and I did some prefishing before the FLW event at Red Wing together to see if we could find some additional spots for Chris. We were out in my “Middle Lund” pulling…
