I have managed to get down to the river a few times during the spring run and it looks like a majority  of walleye finished spawning in early April. It seems the warm weather and strong sun during Easter really got the walleye on the move. Most areas have very few fish left and the river currents seem to be at levels we would normally see in late May.

The water levels are down from last spring, so be careful this year on opening day as hazards will be prominent.

Only a few more weeks until walleye opener, so get your gear ready to go.
