A Saturday morning fish tale

It can be easier catching a 50-pound lake trout than trying to bait a shy St. Mary's River fisherman into telling you his name.

It can be easier catching a 50-pound lake trout than trying to bait a shy St. Mary's River fisherman into telling you his name.

This bashful frequent fisher finally admitted to being Ken Roy, although we're not sure if he was stringing us a line because he repeatedly advised a colleague, who identified himself only as Terri, to similarly give Roy as his last name, too.

Ken did tell us he's out fishing every day that the sun shines.

He says he spends his first hour this time of year trying for lake trout using an assortment of commercial lures.

If the Mackinaws aren't biting, Ken tells us he switches to worms or spawn in hopes of attracting rainbow trout.

And if the rainbow won't co-operate, he just switches his attention back to lake trout.
