Nice report. Glad you were able to get the truck fixed at a low cost. How often does that happen?
What was the name of the little lake?
Also, did you throw a few casts at salmon below the dam?
The best laid plans...

My 3rd day up north on my annual fall big bass hunt did not go quite as planned...
After the very slow start on Mullett with no definite move to the shallows despite warm sun, I decided to try something different. Forgot to mention yesterday that I ended up trading cameraguy as a room mate for 2 roomies - genie and Brett decided it was too late to drive home to the GR area after trying all day to sample the 'awesome' fishing someone may or may not have led them to believe they could enjoy.
We all konked out fairly early, but they did not bother to wake me real early Saturday morning. Which was nice 
I thought the conditions would be pretty good for the north end of Black Lake. bender called to say he and Langer were at the north end of Burt and it was pretty calm.
Of course, bender is not I 
so I was not surprised to find as I exited the Black River, a fairly stiff SE breeze blowing right into the NW corner of the lake. Still, I thought that might actually turn the clear water skittish smallies into biters...

First time I’ve ever had a fuse blow and keep my truck from shifting. I didn’t even know a simple fuse could do that? Feel kind of stupid, but I guess I don’t know everything…
I could have been out on that lake all afternoon after just a couple minutes if I had known. I know now! Long Lake was the lake. Kind of pretty. Small and narrow. The ramp was kind of flat - probably backing in so far is what blew the fuse. But it was deep enough to launch my big Ranger Boat.
If I’d of had 2 more days up there, I would have spent Monday in a smackdown with all those smallies that were coming in to the shallows. Then maybe half a day below the dam for some multi-species.
