Well, so much for the weather

Relatively speaking, November has been one of the nicer months of 2009. Still, there is little to be desired on the fishing forefront.

Dare I say it? We need ice.

I had a few days off last week and hit up Buckmaster Bridge on Madison Lake. The conditions were right, but other than losing one to a slow bite and even slower reactions, there were few bites to be had.

I saw three other anglers on my multiple outings. They didn't catch anything either, though one guy had a follow. From what I gathered between the three of them, Buckmaster wasn't faring well in November.

The north side of Elysian however, sounded like it was drawing a crowd.

I took the above picture with my phone as the sun was going down on my first outing It's nothing special, and there is a reason I'm not a photographer, but at least it is something sunny on a rainy day.

Normally I reserve my camera for a big catch, but as I said, November has been a slow month.
