Now I have seen a ton of big walleye working on pool 4 for the last 6 years, but this one is one of the biggest I have seen and the biggest one this year for sure! A guy named Kelly got it near the dam today on a plastic in 12 fow. The location is his top secret! Great fish Kelly! It weighed 13.7 lbs on two different scales and was 31 1/2 inches long…and had a belly that wouldn’t quit!
As for the overall bite at the dam, things have improved dramatically since last week. That didn’t take much however. Last week was the poorest I’ve seen it here during that time frame. I think good…no great things are yet to come. I have my fingers crossed. With the high water, your main focus should be on shoreline current breaks/seams. There are many of em and they are obvious with the current out there. In general they are downstream of an inside bend in the river. Also, as Dustin mentioned in a recent post, think back to what the shoreline USE to look like before the high water and remember where those little shoreline jetty’s were. They will hold fish right now. There is not a secret bait to be using right now either. Minnows, Hairjigs and plastics are all catching some nice fish….just not a ton of em. The numbers are there for some, but not for most. BUT things have improved by the day since Sunday. The majority of the boats are still fishing from the resort up to the dam, but don’t be afraid to venture away from the crowds to find fish. With fish like this one, I know it’s got me excited about the next few weeks! That’s the latest report. Short and sweet, but to the point. Good fishing to all.
It was the talk of the resort last night!
