Washburn


6/15/06 easy limits
Practice catch and release.
Washburn snuggles in on the peaceful Missouri River dead center on the Lewis & Clark Trail. Surrounded by nature, you can fish the river, area lakes, or head north a few miles and launch out onto 168 miles of Lake Sakakawea. You will run out of time long before you run out of opportunity! Just ask Bill Wald of Washburn who landed the State Record Muskie!

Bill's amazing catch was accomplished using 6# test line. Bill set both a ND state record and a World Line Class Record! 13 lbs larger than the previous record. 53 inches and 46 pounds of fish fighting fury! see the story
