Comments: Fished the Bible Camp area for two hours. Started with a #20 BWO and had litle success and I did not see any rises. Switched to a bead head prince and dropped it two feet down with some weight and caught 5 browns ranging from 8-10 inches. Missed a nice fish. Had a nice chat with a fellow fly fisherman from Green Bay. It was his first time fishing this area. He said he caught two browns using a variety of streamers. Ran into two other clowns using spinning gear and a huge, I mean a huge night crawler. To make matters even more dispicable, as I was walking by one of them was landing a huge brown and then put it in his pouch for dinner. What a shame. Ever hear of catch and release?
