Walleye Run

For any of you locals that fish the run, there are still craploads of walleye in the river and nobody to fight with to get them. We've been crushing them all week. Not sure what this rain will do to them, but we are giving them hell tomorrow morning for possibly the last time
 
Anyone else remember when the limit was 10? Man did that make for some miserable finger on the long hikes!

I sure do, Man was I spoiled. I laugh when I tell my buddies that back then, if I only had 4 on my stringer when i left the river, I would give them away. I was only 18-20 years old, so it was a kick to the ego if i couldnt get close to my limit. Now I treasure each and every one i catch. Im so glad they changed the lim it. I hope they never go back to 10
 
Buddy of mine went out to Sandusky River today (I thought it was still too cold, it is), he seen 1 caught and said the water still a lil too cold

I went again this morning to bluegrass island. I fished for 3 hours and saw less than 10 fish caught.we need some rain and warmer temps to kick this run into full swing. Here in about a week I expect the fishing to get a lot better. I have heard the bite has been quite a bit better in the evening but I can't get out in the evenings.

Multiple limits being caught yesterday and today.... fishing has definitely gotten better the last few days. With the warmer temps and rising river I would say the fishing is only going to get better in the next few days. Unfortunately my daughter is on spring break right now and I have to work all weekend. My next real report will most likely come on Tuesday.

Well done Red! Be safe and have fun Giles! A guy that works for me requested Tues/Wed off next week to go up there and fish. Told him sure, but only if I get a few fillets out of it!
