02/24/08 Geneva Lake afternoon clear 30 degrees. Winds light and variable. Ice 12-14". I had the chance to fish with my taxidermist friend Don Rich of Natures Touch Taxidermy from Janesville, Wisconsin and a group of friends and colleagues fishing the narrows for lakers with a group of seven covering a lot of water. We marked 4 fish right off the bat, but the fish were not interested. Reports of many people out fishing have hooked fish losing them half way up in the past few weeks. I believe the fish are getting a strong case of lock-jaw in result of the foul hook-ups. We down sized a bit to turn the sniffers into biters with no avail. With the slow action, it was a great day to be out on the water.
