Opening weekend fishing report, May 2009

Just giving a weekend fishing update report from this past weekend's opener. The bass was slow over the weekend, just starting to pick up after today's 80 degree temps. Saturday we had a major blizzard move in, and a couple of nights this past week below freezing. We did have a 25 inch and 27 inch walleye caught, both on the Floods, and some limits of walleyes being taken, but not exceptional catches as of yet. The trout have been hitting steady in shallower waters, and the northern pike are just now starting to pick up. This weekend should be quite a bit better, as water temps are approaching the low 50's now. This past weekend, they were running around 45-48. Water levels are currently very high due to the spring runoff, as can be expected with a year with a lot of snow.
