Through columbia into burkesville. Usually there before daylight so no traffic to deal with. At the ramp in an hour to an hour and ten minutes

The Columbia bypass and the Hwy. 61 rebuild really shortened the trip to Burkesville. Watch out for the deer through there.

I studied this list in regards to moon phase and such a couple of years ago. The Hayes fish is a freak and you really don't know how big it is until you hold the mount in person. That being said, probably even a bigger freak of a Smallie is #8 out of Ontario. With the growing season so short in Canada a 9.8 pounder is HUGE!!!! As far as the next World Record goes, it will come out of one of the deep Clear lakes in California that has Trout stocked annually. Basically, Dale Hollow with an unlimited growing season.

I have fished that Birch Lake in Ontario quite a few times. I've even used Anderson Outfitters ( Mark Anderson is their son). I've talked to him a few times about it.......Cool CAT.

AND a great, GREAT fish.
