Trout
Fishing Madness

Every spring my brothers, Jack
and Ken, go trout fishing near Duluth, MN. There are several rivers that
run into Lake Superior. This time they were fishing the Knife. There were
lots of fishermen but no one was catching anything. My brothers were trying
everything: salmon eggs, worms, different colored plastic eggs and even
tried a piece of lunchmeat. Nothing seemed to work. Ken found a white plastic
worm that kind of looked like a wax worm. He tried it and it worked! That
very first drift he caught a nice 5-pound trout. But he lost the fake wax
worm. Jack said that he had some wax worms in his winter coat, but that
was back at the truck. After
walking back to the truck and getting the wax worms they both started
to drift the worms and right away they started catching fish. Within two
hours Ken had five nice trout, and one of them weighed 13 pounds! That
fish put up a good fight on a fly rod. That one is going on his wall.
Jack caught 4 and lost about 8 trout. Everyone was trying to find out
what they were using for bait. Jack and Ken will never go trout fishing
again without bringing a lot of wax worms.
