A back-breaking day on the water

My Jeep was under the weather the entire summer last year and I wasn’t able to get my boat in the water, not even once. Seriously, not once. So I got the Jeep fixed over the winter and was prepared to put the boat in the water this year, and then the outboard motor went out.

Dangerous Dan does it again

My angling buddy Dangerous Dan Bloomquist phoned last Sunday night. He always phones after he has spent some time on the Brule River over in Douglas County. “I caught the biggest steelhead I’ve ever caught in my life today,” Dan said into the phone Sunday.
