Meche in August

July 31st hit the river at about 630 pm.  Lots of poison ivy at landing.   River low, definitely could not get boat up to were we put in.  No fish caught at honey hole that nite.  Proceeded to snag hole where we set up camp.  Realized this would be a great place for duck camp as well as there are two nice backwaters very close.  Caught 3 eyes that nite, biggest about 15".   Also snorkelled and saw many walleyes chilling, could not hook them. Nice camp site.  Nite brought many sounds including a pissed off beaver.  Morning 5 am caught no fish out front.  Snorkel gear revealed there were many fish though.  Walleyes mixed with red horse and occasional white succer and pike sprinkled in.  Next day brought 10 walleyes all good size biggest two being 22.5 and 23.  Awesome day.  Caught a couple nice ones in the swimming hole for the first time.  No fish caught or even seen on sand S corner.  Lots of fish at high bank.  Great trip should span it across a few more days.
