Report by CANADA BAIT 'N' TACKLE    Braggin' Board 

The happy fishermen were Tim and Matt Kellogg. They used a crank bait with orange on the bottom near the flats to catch this big Walleye of 28 inches; 8 pounds 6 ounces. Other than a few more walleye have been taken out near the flats; a lot having to be put back because too short; the wipers have been going really strong best near the dam. Some reports of crappie but no local is being disclosed. Channel catfish are good but not too many fishing for them because of the other species going so good.

Don't forget the Kid's fishing tournament coming up on Sunday, June 6th.
