After a clear, hot Friday afternoon, Saturday morning brought a cold, wet snap, with near-steady rain, high winds, temperatures that never exceeded 10°C and, at several points, sleet and even snow. Yes, snow—in late May. These shots of my friend and fellow kayak angler Rob Dankowsky (above) were pretty typical of how it went: damp, cold and hunched against the wind as we searched for walleye and pike. Though as you can just make out through the haze, at least Rob was still smiling. Honestly, if you love fishing as much as we do, it’s hard not to smile when you’re on such nice water.
