Coffee Shops, Old timers, and Ice Fishing
By Karl Seckinger :: 1374 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Fishing - Trout and Salmon, Tales from the Woods

Back at the table some more locals come in and we start lying to them about where were going to ice fish. They fabricate a story as thick as the bacon on their plates and it’s off to the races. We tip the waitress and...

Camping Solitude - and Trout
By Karl Seckinger :: 1786 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Camping 101, Fishing - Trout and Salmon, Tales from the Woods

It’s been all afternoon and not one other bite. I have heard the kids being called to dinner and one bout of crying from the other camp site. Daylight’s curtain is being drawn and the hint of pink from the rainbow trout is vaguely familiar in the western horizon...

Do You Remember Your Grandparents?
By Karl Seckinger :: 1320 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Learn How to Fish, Tales from the Woods

I was built lower to the ground, Grandpa told me that many times, so I could pick stuff up, easier for both of us. The sound of his rubber knee high boots thunkin' and thudding as he strode around the yard is a drum beat to my ears forever...

Some Fresh Air - Red Fox Style
By Karl Seckinger :: 1275 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: Hunting - General, Tales from the Woods

This is the 17th set-up and I have seen zip. This is going to be my last for the day. I have snow shoed so far my legs are stiff. Lying in the cold is getting to me. Brown ribbons where the tractors do not plow surround the fields like a fence, god made it out of cattails. I have a perch with a very wide country view...

Lake Herring Fishing on the Knife River
By Karl Seckinger :: 1191 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Fishing - General, Tales from the Woods

Knife River is a small community on the north shore of Lake Superior on the Minnesota side, between Duluth and Two Harbors. Many years ago this was a busy harbor for lake trout fisherman. Now there are only remnant families that still ply the commercial trade but are only allowed to net herring...

Get It Before It's Gone - Your time for adventure is now
By Karl Seckinger :: 1068 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Tales from the Woods

You know the kind of outdoors person. They always get there buck. They limit on geese or never come back without fifty pounds of fresh harvested wild rice. You borrow the knife and its razor sharp. They look like they just stepped out of a hunting catalog, no matter the time of day. Even there sandwiches are better...

Into the Night
By Karl Seckinger :: 869 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Tales from the Woods

I step outside and the darkness is everything. I stand still to let my eyes adjust. Chips of starlight appear in the night sky. Underfoot is Snow and glows white, anything above ground level appears black. If I focus directly on anything the shapes melt. So I just scan the yard. Stars and snow illuminate bit by bit...

Reflections - Boundry Waters Canoe Area
By Karl Seckinger :: 1655 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Camping 101, Tales from the Woods

I’m lying in the sunshine on a very large rock. This piece of ancient igneous is located on the North Shore of Pine Lake in northeastern Minnesota. I did not kill myself getting here. No arduous portages. Mosquitoes? Non-existent. Paddling easily at two miles per hour with a nicely loaded canoe made for a leisurely pace...

Fishing Echos | All you have to do is listen
By Karl Seckinger :: 1150 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Learn How to Fish, Tales from the Woods

Now I let go with the word fishing, and not in a canyon. No echo. But the sound waves go forth. To my ears, it is first and foremost brook trout fishing in small streams. Its how I acquired my nickname. The first feeling that wells up in others could be a daredevil tossed for pike, the next, hand lining for lake trout, or jig and minnow for walleyes...

You ever catch yourself sniffing empty shotgun shells?
By Karl Seckinger :: 1598 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: Hunting - Waterfowl, Tales from the Woods

You ever catch yourself sniffing empty shotgun shells? In the heat of battle most of my spent twelve gauges hit the bottom of the duck boat. Exceptions to the rule occur, and those are the three inch mags that I tuck in my pocket after poking at Canadian honkers...
