Tall Timber's 1998 Fishing Highlights
A note on Catch & Release: Tall Timber Lodge strongly encourages all anglers to practice Catch & Release. In the immortal words of Lee Wulff, "A good gamefish is too valuable to be caught only once. The fish you release is your gift to another angler."
| Jan 6 - Putt arrives at Tall Timber to kick off another sure to be sensational year of angling.......shortly after, Putt, Cindy and John successfully land and release some rainbows at the logging bridge. What a country! | |
| April 27 - Putt lands 30+ fish at the logging bridge. Upwards of 45 fish on the day. The salmon are running in the 1st Lake Inlet. The next day, Putt lands 4 salmon. | |
| April 27 - Andrew Zukowski lands a 4+ pound brown. He plans on getting it mounted. | Please Send Photo! |
| May 1 - Mike Risley releases more than a dozen rainbows on Back Lake. Mike was using a Super Duper lure. | |
| May 3 - Cindy releases a beautiful brown and rainbow south of the village. | |
| May 7 - Dick and Judy Felone have a sensational day on Back Lake. They reported that Yellow Hornbergs were working best. | |
| May 8 - Pete Diemand lands a 3 lb. brookie on Back Lake. He told me he would send a photo soon!! | Need Photo! |
| May 10 - Cindy telephones Putt..."Get up here...the salmon are in the inlet!" May 11 - Putt arrives - listens to the loons, claims to have eaten too much, and as an added bonus - catches some salmon. | |
| May 16 - Pat McGinn lands a 4 lb. 1 oz. Brookie at Moose Pond. Click on his photo for a larger image. The next day, Pat emailed us with the following message: "What a great trip. The picture on the net only shows the one that I am going to mount. The other two were released. One 20 inch long (not as heavy) and an additional 18 1/2 inch brookie. The one that broke the line was the one we really wanted. We had it to the boat several times but it was not going to give up in this lifetime. I'll be back for him. Well, one day, 4 large fish, and at least 20 small ones - (good day of fishing). Your place is great and we all had a great time. Thanks, Pat." | |
| May 16 - Pat McGinn's fishing partner, Dick Hamann follows with an 18 3/4", 3 lb. 4 oz. Brookie! Also caught at Moose Pond. | |
| May 20 - Russ Moore lands a Brown and 3 Brook Trout over 2 pounds on the Trophy Stretch! This 18" Brookie weighed 2 lbs. 14 oz. and is headed for Russ's smoker! All other fish were released! | |
| May 26 - Pat Violette lands and releases a 22 inch, 4 lb. 5 oz. Brown that he caught off of Tall Timber's dock! | |
| May 27 - Jim McKerley lands a 2 3/4 lb. Brook Trout at Back Lake. | |
| May 28 - Pat Violette lands 3 trout in the 3 pound range! This one was bleeding too much ( 3 lb. 1 oz.) to release, the other two however will be caught and hopefully released another day. Pat's fishing partner, Geoff Mason also caught and released a 3 1/2 lb. Brookie! They were up last September and did just as well! Geoff said he'd be sending up a photo. | |
| May 28 - Jim McKerley catches a 3 lb. Back Lake Brown. | |
