Walleyes are Scattered

High water and wide open gates at the dams have scattered the walleyes. Fishermen are having a hard time to locate any fish right now. The few that do find fish are finding them up in the willows along the railroad tracks on the Mississippi. On the Wisconsin it’s the same story, high water and fast current.

Adding to the problem is the water temperature. With the cold nights we’ve been having the water is in the low 40’s yet and not warming up very fast. Walleyes like to spawn when the water gets up to about 52 degrees, so we have a way to go.

Be patient. The water will go down and the temperature will come up and the fishing will improve. But for now, don’t plan on a big day of catching fish.
