Before the storms

Fishing on the lakes in north central is fairly good as long as you are ok with 2-4lb fish. Of course you also have to be ok with crowds as they are small.

I won my first club tournament on Lake Manitou with two fish that probably totaled 3+ lbs. (combined). So yea, we would have been happy with 2-4 lb. fish back then.

Manitou can be tough at times for sure. Had some really good days on that lake, and a few pretty bad ones. I hated it back in the 80's. Have some cool pictures from 2 years ago during the deer rut, of a buck chasing a doe back in one of the channels. The doe went swimming around the boat with the buck close behind.
