<br>With the weather this week fishing reports are few and far between but I do have a couple late reports from the week before. A friend from Nebraska came down to Wilson Feb 20-23 and caught 70 total stripers with 2 of those weighing over 16#s These were all caught in the Hell creek area. By the way this was his first time to fish Wilson, he told me he will be back! Feb 23 Hell Creek was so full of boats that another fishermen decided to try his luck at the dam and caught several 3 to 4# walleye casting slabs, no monsters but certainly good eating size. If these female walleye are starting to move towards the dam it should be a good time to catch a HOG! I would like to apologize to anyone who came to Zeiners Bass Shop on Sat. March 2 expecting to talk to me. Due to the road conditions I had to cancel but am trying to clear my calendar for another Sat. in the future. On a 
note Bruce Coate another local guide here on Wilson who has been battling cancer for the last 6 months was returned to the Hutchinson hospital yesterday! All your prayers will certainly be appreciated. I competed against Bruce in tournaments and in guiding and he is certainly a fisherman to be respected!!<br><br>
