There is another element making this game even more intense, the early silver ghosts of fall. Dime bright steelhead fresh from Lake Michigan add to the mix as September transitions to October. By Halloween they are the target species everyone is looking for…but for those playing the egg game, they know that they can be found a month or more earlier.
The first ghost you see makes your heart stop momentarily, seconds later you notice your hands are shaking slightly and you need to take a second to collect yourself. Gearing up that morning at the truck the thought crossed your mind to grab the switch rod just in case.
“Nah, haven’t heard of any chrome showing up ye. The #5 will be fine”.
