    I know that walleye fishing is shut down from St. Croix influx to the north, but I was going to try and escape the Pool 4 crowd and try Pool 3 this weekend. Have never been on it and was curious on the early season fishing there. Looking for some general input. Thanks

    The guys I know deal with the pool4 crowds rather than the pre-spawn bite on pool 3, at least this time of the year. When the backwaters open up it may be a bit different. Too bad Prescott to the dam isn’t open.

    Yes you can catch prespawn fish in there right now but it’s not really worth your time until right before they drop their eggs. The few days leading up can be really good but timing is everything. Then shortly after spawn it is game on.

    ^This would be awesome BK.

    I probably wouldn’t fish Pool 3 often, but it would be another option to spread anglers out. Pool 5 is very underrated and a great option this time of the year as I am sure Pool 3 would be.

    Seriously? Most excellent. Odds?

    I don’t want to say yet. I’m afraid of the jinx!
