May flys/ fish flys

There was a big fish fly hatch in the Dubuque area last night. That should make the walleye fishing a little more difficult with all that food available.

“Big” is not the word. I work in LeClaire our station is very close to the River. This morning I had to use a shovel to clean the shad flies off the sidewalk. Pretty nasty. The smallies are probably going ape nuts right now, I gotta find time to get out!

i was out this am and we had more than our share of shad flys floating. the surface was coated with them. a first for me today, was seeing a greeny come to the surface and gulp some larva rite along side my boat. by 10am the larve disappeared. not all fish were gourged on shad flies. had 3 nice slot greenies and two for shore lunch. what more can u ask for……….well ok i’m not going there never had anyone cut in front of me or crowd me today. just a great day on the water.
