Readers of a North Dakota newspaper are learning all about the fishing at Amisk Lake.
The Jamestown Sun’s Bernie Kuntz has written a two-part piece on his fishing trip to the Denare Beach area.
“Keith and I are on the boat alone today as Laurie has chosen to stay in camp with Labrador Oscar,” wrote Kuntz in the second article, posted to the Sun’s website last Friday, July 1. “It is a bit choppy early in the day, but calms down, the sun appears and it is a glorious day.
“I manage to catch a 33-inch pike on a yellow Rapala Husky Jerk, and a 35-inch pike on a gold Rapala floater. The fishing is slow for Amisk Lake, Saskatchewan – five walleyes between us in six hours of fishing.”
Kuntz recounts the final day of the trip: “We are up at 6 am and depart camp an hour later, Keith driving my Dodge up the gravel road toward Denare Beach and Flin Flon. At Meridian Creek I ask him to stop so I can look one last time at Amisk Lake. The sun is rolling up over the black spruces to the east, the lake is calm with a very slight breeze. It is going to be a marvelous day for those coming into camp.”
The first of Kuntz’s articles was titled “Action strong on Amisk Lake”; the second “One-week trip to Amisk ends.”
The Sun is a daily newspaper based in Jamestown, a city of 15,400 people in southeastern North Dakota.
