canada stockwatch indicates that the National Post had an article in today's copy on Manhattan but I looked and saw nothing although I know there was an article in yesterday's NP on the same topic. Can anyone confirm that there was nothing in today's NP or do different cities get different versions of the paper?

<<Any suggestions for decent walleye or crappies?>>

This time of year the walleye are going to be deep ..... I'd look for some good structure (eg., an area with a feeder stream into the lake with deep water and some bottom boulders\rocks. I'd likely fish with a jig, fished slowly and maybe dress it with a bit of worm or a small minnow. Lures such as the Beno or the Canadian Wiggler (I like the silver one) or a deep diving Rapala are usually good for walley. You may luck into some smallmouth bass too.

I recall seveal years ago taking my "little brother" (I was a Big Brother) fishing up to the area where I go. I rigged him with a jig and a little worm and we just tossed them out and drifted. Within 2 minutes he had landed a nice 5 pounder ..... he said "lets do that again" .... well - much to my surprise - that is exactly what he did - another 5 pounder less that 5 minutes later. He has the picture sitting on his mantle today - 20 years later.

I do not usually fish for crappies ..... but I know that some people up where I go, have good luck with small minnows.

BTW - Rice Lake has a very high population of musky .... try a bucktail .... I've found that lime green and cinnamon with a silver hammer blade finish works well as do yellow and orange with a brass blade. Later on, black with a little orange are good. The weather is suppose to be rainy for the next few days, ideal for musky. Pike love a white bucktail with a little bit of red and a brass blade.

Bucktails are usually best trolled out about 40 feet from the boat and at a good clip .... I've found that they work best about 1-2 feet under water.

Hope that helps - good luck.
