Sorry about no fishing reports lately, but been having serious computer problems. Hopefully all solved now.
Now to fishing, ever since the biggest mayfly hatch I have ever witnessed, at least two weeks since they first popped up, fishing has gradually picked up and the walleye are moving about and are on a fairly decent bite. The last week has seen a decent bite but not one that could be described as good, and that was due to fish movement and locations. Yesterday for example was a day where different weather conditions produced different fishing results and it was all in reverse to what it should be. AM hours were cloudy with a decent breeze and fishing was sort of on the slow side, one eye here and one eye there along with a gill or perch in between. Afternoon hours were mosty off and on clouds mixed with hot temps and zero winds, but we found the majority of eyes during this time. The AM eyes were picked up in various depths and were relating to submerged timber, the PM eyes were scattered but on a real good bite in 10 to 12 feet of water over mud bottom. Reeves weedless jigs tipped with a small piece of crawler did the trick, many of the eyes had mouths full of the small sand leeches so we kept our crawlers on the small side to try and match.
Heading out tomorrow if weather permits, will keep you posted.
