A Freshwater

OCCASION

There are times when a fisherman packs up his gear and heads for the lake with no intention of catching anything . He simply wants to immerse himself in solitude , a natural therapy , with only the sun as his company . Other times , though , fishermen will set goals . They will fish for sport , trying to reel in the biggest and the best . During these times , they may be fishing for a particular type of game fish , or they may be simply hoping to catch the most weight . Whatever the scenario , there are two fish that remain perhaps the most popular during spring : Walleye and Crappie .
