There's not even that :-\  Dunham TOTALLY sucks and is without a doubt probably the worst place you could ever fish if you actually plan on catching anything :-\   If you catch a walleye out of Dunham's you'd probably be the first ;)   

i caught 2 keepers out of there last year and lost one at the hole but i never went back.

You are the first person I have ever heard of who has caught an eye out there in the past 10 years.  Not only 1 hook up but 3 hook up's.  All I can say is wow..

We got after some trout at the Grafton Tourney. My bro, and friend Steve. We landed 9 bows, missed a few flags as well ::) We had a blast :tipup: The biggest was 15 3/8 and was actually leading the contest at 12:30(I had to leave after that) Does anyone know how to get the final results ??? When we left I had 1st, 2nd and Steve had 3rd for trout. These photos don't do justice to these fish, their colors were unbelievable today. 8) Here are the three I kept

steve

brother tom
