Just to add to what the report says, keep in mind the rising air temps are having an effect on the water temps in the lake. Things are warming up quick, so be prepared for at least one of two thing happening. Walleye could be heading for deeper water to stay cool, and the increase could trigger a large mayfly hatch this weekend. You might need to head to 24 to 25 fow, and if the hatch is on, suspend your baits up and down the water column to key in on the feeding fish.Be safe this weekend, watch out for all the weekend warriors, should be crowded, so get to the launches early. May 26th update.With the cooler temps last night and into today, fishing was good this morning between 14 and 17 foot in the bay.
