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...

Yeah right. That assumes the smallies are there in the first place. I made several controlled drifts across deep flats looking for smallmouth bass with eyes and lures to no avail. The wind kept kicking up and shortly, I had waves coming over the nose of the boat now and then whenever I turned into the wind.
Nothing! Nada! Nix! Nill! It might has well been a bath tub. A really churned up bath tub. So, after only a couple hours, I bid adieu to Black Lake.
I decided to try a small lake I've never been on and have heard very mixed reviews on... just to be different and because I bore easily. Once I found the ramp, I saw that there were even 1-foot waves on this small, narrow lake.
The upper ramp was kind of steep, but the actual under water ramp was a little flat, so I had a little difficulty between that and the stiff breeze, getting my Ranger off the Ranger Trail. I parked it in the sand and hopped into the truck to pull out.

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.
