9/17/2024 Walleye fishing continues to be slow. DNR test nets for bait fish results show extremely high numbers of perch, tullibees and young walleyes. This is certainly good for the health of the lake and the fish population. However it makes walleye fishing difficult because the fish simply are not hungry.

Some northern pike and muskies are being caught they to are slower than normal due to the extremely high bait fish population.
