Fishing Update

Just wanted to post a quick update about the fishing since opener on the 15th.
We have had very warm temperatures lately and the surface temps are approaching mid 60's and even warmer on some area lakes. Today it reached 90 degrees air temp!
The fishing has really picked up the past few days, especially the walleye. If this keeps up into June, we are looking forward to an excellent June walleye bite. Last spring was so cold it took a while for the walleye to really get going.
The smallmouth have moved onto their beds as well and are starting to defend them, usually attacking any nearby bait thrown at them. The females should be moving onto the beds in the next couple of weeks to spawn.
Weed growth is way ahead, of course due to the hot temps we have been getting. Smallmouth bass fishing, along with the walleye and pike, should be exceptional this early summer.
We did receive a good rain fall today, hopefully with a few more we can get our water levels back up to near normal for this time of the season.
Keep checking back for updates, as we will be posting more in the weeks to come.
thanks
Jody
