In just about a week I’ll be heading up to Minnesota for a little rest, relaxation and some fishing. I’ll be staying on Lake Lida, a lovely body of water and certainly fun for recreation. The fishing however, while improving in recent years, hasn’t always been the best. Given the fact that I’m a man known to have trouble catching fish in places where the fishing is considered strong, I thought it a good idea to look for some help.
While digging around for some Crappie fishing tips I ran across an interesting article on the thermocline . The thermocline it appears, is a mid layer of water, close enough to the surface to still provide fish with enough oxygen to breathe but deep enough to avoid the rising water temperatures that come with the summer. I remember reading last year, while hunting fish on our Lake Vermilion Trip, about Walleye’s that would hang out at a medium depth and could be missed by those of us fishing traditionally closer to the bottom. Perhaps the thermocline would have been the answer, we will never know. Here’s hoping the thermocline or something else, maybe the grace of god or just dumb luck helps me catch some fish.
