The anglers coming in tonight had mostly the same to say. Fishing has slowed down from muddy water. One group said they caught 50 walleye yesterday and 1 today. However, the sturgeon have been active. Another group said the same, and their plan tomorrow is to fish for sturgeon. Others plan to try Peland, which is an option most will try when the river muddies up. Sandee sent me an email she recieved a couple years ago from a person on muddy wayer fishing that she thought might help. It reads "Having fished the river now for the past 10 tears I have come to learn a few tricks when the water is high and murky. First of all, drift fishing can close down and be less productive due to the limited visability. I generally look for pockets or structures that hold fish and attempt to double anchor over them. I then will dig out a big lizard and put it on a 3/4oz-1oz jighead with slow presentation off the bottom. This has been very successful for me and worked well last weekend. True, the fishing was slow but my wife and I still boated 10 walleyes on Saturday and 15 on Sunday in a half day. The idea is to put something that makes alot of action in front of the fish and wait." The water temp reportidly dropped today about 2 degrees. Better weather is exspected this weekend. The anglers here haven't given up, their just getting more crafty.
