Not many smallies either- rumor has it they are the result of bucket biology stockings by bass fishermen. Not sure if its true, being an impoundment its possible they were native to the Little Maple River, but it is NOT good smallmouth habitat. Don't plan on targeting smallies, walleye, or even pike!

Believe it or not, I caught it trolling an old Rapala 4" minnow. I've got a witness!

Dont worry, when you hit the first ski, the floodgates open and they come much easier. I waited 20 years, then cought three in two days to start my addiction! Though thats certinly not the norm (3 in 2 days), all it takes is confidence to keep doing what your doing when times are tough and the fish will come.
Here's my only muskie, caught in Ovid…

It was in '05, I believe. Might even be worth catching again, this year…
(OK you guys: you can stop laughing, now… 🙄 )
