A mutant fish has come to challenge Godzilla! Look how it bares it’s ugly teeth as it soars over the building!
This is Hayward. Home of a Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame and the Moccasin Bar and Wilderness Museum- where you can see, if your heart desires, the world world record musky- 67 1/2-pounds and 60 1/4 in. long! Holy bananas!
This town and I didn’t have too much in common. I did delight in the moose head suspended from the ceiling in the pizzeria where we had dinner. But I opted to skip the giant musky so after a bit of shopping (including a trip to a humongous candy store that would make any eight year-old drool) me and the parental units went to the charming HookStone Winery- so much more my speed. We tasted several of their wines- most just ran with the fish theme:
Bluegill Blanc
Rock Bass
Walleye Blush
Muskie
Panfish Port
Sunfish- the tasty Syrah (with 5% Voignier) I’m drinking now. Blackberry Bouquet with blackberry, pepper and chocolate. Mmmmmmmm…






Hayward is friend to children! Hayward will protect the city!
