Another Beautiful Smallmouth River, Central Minnesota

I've always pondered fishing this river, but I have never gotten around to it until now. Lots of fish but small.







Then I looked downstream...













There were osprey and eagles everywhere. Note the stands of large white pine peaking through the other trees. Historically, this river and another slightly to the north, both tributaries to the St. Croix, had huge stands of white pine prior to logging.
