My friend and I arrived at Blackman about 11:00 and fished until 4:00 with no success. Not so much as a bite. We fished the south-end parking lot area and there is millfoil already coming up. We fished off the bottom with Power Bait but still had vegetation to deal with. Still a great day, however. My Master Hunter Lab, Sphinx, had lots of ducks to salivate over and we found a great pub in Snohomish with some excellent local and international beer. Another bad day of fishing saved by fermented hops and barley! I'd like to get back to Blackman when it's warmer and troll a small spoon. Come on, Spring...
