I've never seen a Harlequin duck in the area. But like you mentionned they are not native to this region. They are probably just stopping by on their way migrating back home. Just don't tell the tree-huggers (not intended to offend anyone) but there have been places where they banned rafting, boatin...

I've used all types of connections. To be honest, I've never found that great of a difference. I've caught trout in gin-clear water and bass in the slop with a 12 inch leader on that you'd normally use for musky. When the fish are biting and you can get the lure to them...that's all that counts. But...

I'd probably troll this edge. If a buddy was with, we'd combine and choose a shallower lure for the inside edge, and a deep runner. I would do my best to zig-zag the boat in the B area. I like suspending crankbaits, and there's nothing wrong with a medium sized mepps spinner. If its weedy, then a sp...

Definitely, I would be trying to get the shiny fluttering spoon down to near bottom between the weeds. The good thing about the Johnson spoon is that its weedless (well snagless), so if it does get hung up on a weed on the way down, you can twitch it to help it fall. If I'm basically pitching this b...

White spinnerbait with single colorado blade until all the pike have been caught. Then maybe a weedless johnson silver minnow with a bright curly grub tail trailer. The bass luv 'em.

I take it the water is flowing away, so me being a 'crappie' canoeist, I'd anchor nice and safe above the 'waterfall'. Would try casting jointed rapalas (bright ones) cross current. If nothing starts to hit, I might try some bucktail jigs. When I snag all them and run out, I might try and sit back w...
