Many folks think walleye fishing isn’t good in July.  I know a few who would disagree.  Steve and his group have been coming to Seseganaga lake every July -mid July – for many years. 

Walleye fishing is consistent in these cold waters all summer.  In my opinion, fishing in nice weather beats fishing in lousy weather.  July is usually very stable ...read more.

Every group should have some kind of leader.  This applies to groups a small as 2 right on up to the size of a country.  Determining a group leader can be as simple as marrying one, enduring a drawn out election every four years or as may happen when no one is happy , instigating a revolt.  How a group ...read more.

A northern pike invites a walleye for lunch.
