Trolling all over the open water yielded plenty of nice crappie. I also hooked several walleye, one catfish, one smallmouth bass, several drum, white bass, and a wiper. We celebrated mother's day with a nice fish fry of crappie and walleye. Depth varied from 3' to almost 30 feet

Gave it a shot from early evening until 1:30 AM but flood waters dirtied the lake and made the night tough

as of the end of March walleye have still not copleted the spawn season. A few males caught had milt actively spewing. Bite was not great but nice activity with a few bonus crappie, white bass and even a smallmouth shows that the fish are actively using the new warm water heated by rocks and wind at the dam. #9Berkley Flicker Minnnow was an ambitious target for a young walleye in 2nd pic.

Found so open water roaming fish and was excited to catch this nice 22" walleye along with some crappie, white bass and a bonus +/_ 5# hybrid striper. Even the cold 38 deg. water didn't stop these fish from eating
