Jere,
All I have in a canoe (tipanoe). There's a little path to the river about
100 yards upstream from Thunderbird Resort...by that old shack or whatever
it is. The path is kinda steep and narrow. It would be tricky with a
driftboat.

I fished the Sky today from my driftboat. Jeff, a guide, and Charlie fished
out of Jeff's boat. We put in at "two-bit" at 7 AM and I was done by
11AM..saw enough. I took out at the Ben Howard and saw Charlie and Jeff at
the head of Thunderbird at about noon when I came back with the trailor. I
don't know how they did, but I spoke to many anglers, and heard of no fish
being hooked. I saw Ole Olson, a plug guide, today anyway, hook and land a
fish in the deep water just below the Thunderbird ramp. The water was gin
clear. You could see 10-15 ft down. There have been a few fish caught
around Monroe, but they don't seem in any hurry to move up. Now watch
Charlie report that he filled the gunny-sack!! Jeff, how'd you get to put
in at Thunderbird? I thought that was private. Ryou a Leisure Time member?

Geesh,
