Patrick Kelly is holding a typical Woman Lake northern. The typical northern
is anywhere from 19–inches to 22–inches. Northerns are just a
pain–in–the–"– – –". They will more than
likely "bite–off" the "hook, line & sinker" and, if landed,
they have a slimy coating that gets all over your hands and boat. And what's worse –
it has a bodacious odor. In the Spring of 96', they
were more abundant than usual. Unfortunately, over the years, we seem to catch half as
many of these critters as we do walleyes. However, in the year 2000, we caught equal
amounts of walleye and northern. Since then, the ratio has increased in favor of the
northern, much to our chagrin. In the spring of 2003, northerns outnumbered
walleyes greater than 2 to 1.
