A friend and I hit Deercreek early today armed with some new spinners for perch and walleye. Arrived at 5:30 and on the water before 6:00. Wind was down and we started catching 10 to 11” perch almost immediately on the spinners trolling. About 8:00 the small walleye started hitting the same spinners as the perch. By 9:00 the perch bite slowed and the walleye bite got in high gear. At 11:00 the wind came up strong and that plus the power squadron almost made the lake unfishable. But we stuck it out and the higher the waves the bigger the walleye. Called it quits at 1:00 with 18 fat perch, 12 walleye and 3 rainbows. The big walleye was 26” and just shy of 6 lbs.
