I'm curious about that myself. What's the walleye fishing like up there? Been thinking about a meat run but never fished there before.

They've been getting slammed with rain. Just talked to a gal that went camping this past weekend and some of the shops are closed that would otherwise rent kayaks/canoes. There's a post in the "pan fish" section of a guy who banked in on sunfish with a few LMB thrown in.
The walleye fishing is good but is 3 bag limit. They recently lowered the limit to 15" as well but can't keep anything in between 20-24".

Bass fishing has been good. Walleye slot is 14 inches or over. Moved it to 14 inches from 18 inches. Fairly certain you can keep 6 each. There is no slot over 14 inches. No slot or bag limit on the spots. Lake has been up and down and not all bass has spawned. Better fishing on a cloudy or rainy day.

I just returned yesterday and the river is really flowing as the gates are still open and they don't want anyone in the river... No rentals at all... One of the the bridge's is blown out too... So you can't drive the loop around. Its going to be awhile before they get everything repaired out there. The river has changed...

Holler at me Thursday evening about 8:00. If I don't have a guide trip Friday, you can get in with me and we can go catch something. I am going anyway. 9185718881

If you see a few guys (probably drunk) wandering the banks around the marina, it is probably me. Stop and say hey, ill toss you a beer!

A lot of big brim on the banks especially on points around the flooded persimmon trees. Swim a small grub with a chartreuse tail. bass have been good early on topwater (bone pop-R). Watermelon candy/red superfluke worked slow and weightless around laydowns is good. Watch for snakes. All the water has them out.

I loaded up on flukes and senkos the other day, they seem to do best for me up there. Unfortunately I know about the snakes all too well up there. Seems we kill a couple copperheads every time we make the trip. Are shakey heads doing good?
