Main target: Walleye, Perch
Arrived 8AM to calm conditions and launched at the eastern state park. Fished around the island and caught one smallie.
The lake is totally full. Water temp was 72 F.
Headed across the lake to the north and worked the shoreline to find only a couple dink smallies.
Next headed to were the river dumps in and worked up the channel just out of casting range of the bridge fisherman. They where catching trout on bait but we didn't do anything using jigs.
Next trolled the flats from north to the south end. Finally found a walleye on the south end of the flats. Within minutes...Kabooom... The W##!!!D hit hard out of the west. Faught the w... for while and caught another walleye trolling the same area.
Moved to south side of the island (shallow side) to get out of the w... but no fish were there. Then proceeded to work a few of the little gullies on the west north side with only one trout and a couple dink bass to show for it.
The w... died down just to a manageable level so headed back to the flats. Caught one more walleye trolling and one casting with a jig. Also caught 3 small perch. Left the lake at 6PM.
Final results:
1-12" walleye
1-13" walleye
1-14" walleye
1-15" walleye
3-7" perch
1-12" rainbow
5- (7"-11")smallmouth bass
