My usual approach in these blog posts is to describe my experiences in a typical, Hayward Lakes-type recreational activity.  So far, I’ve covered fat biking and trail running.  This week I decided to try my hand on a stand-up paddleboard.

It’s Friday night in Wisconsin…what is the first thing that comes to mind?  A fish-fry of course!  For as long as I can remember, the Friday night Fish Fry has been as synonymous with Wisconsin as Brandy Old Fashions and cheese curds.  While there are countless options for Fish Frys in the Hayward area, sometimes it is fun to mix it up a bit and go catch your own bounty to fry up!
