Every once in awhile an opportunity comes along that is just too good to pass up. This happened to me not too long ago when I was asked to take some vacation days and help out with a fisheries project at a place that I thought I may never have the privilege of visiting. I was told that although there would be some very important fisheries work with brook trout, that there would also be plenty of time to fish. Would I be interested?  Let's just say I didn't need to be asked twice.

I was on the lake for less than an hour and was working my Rapala Skitter Pop across the surface in 30 feet of water. One tip I had before my arrival was that Lake Joseph's big smallmouth love to feed on suspending ciscoes.

There are still places left hidden on this planet where your wildest dreams of beauty and serenity exist. Not a long time ago, I met someone who has been living in this paradise for the past twenty years. Dr. Resnick; the man of the moment visits this unique place annually.

Lingering onward dreamily In an evening of July --
In Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by…"
