Opening of fishing season brings good results
"Walleye action is great right now," said Nick Thiry from Kurt's. "We haven't heard of many people fishing for crappie or anything, mostly just walleye with some incidental catches of other fish."
A jig and minnow have been working well for some. Others have had good action with stick baits such as the rogue and husky jerk. Fish are already coming in to the shallow to spawn in shallower lakes and flowages, he said.
In deeper, colder lakes, that movement is just beginning.
Anglers may need to adapt their presentation and depth on an hour-to- hour basis right now, reports are showing. However, for those planning to hit the water this weekend, the general consensus is that fishing should be good.
