What a great 3 day weekend – We saw multiple Walleye taken both  three days in a row out of the river , most at Jerome road and Orleans park area..but all access areas had fish caught.  The water warmed up another degree with yesterdays sunshine.  The warmer 42/43 degree water flowing into Lake Erie coupled with this warming trend and the rain called for today will probably bring that first good push of walleye in early .

 Today  is going to be another nice day with a slight chance of rain  and we anticipate seeing more fish taken. With the slightly lower  water level 1/2 oz to 3/4 should be plenty to get that lure bouncing on the bottom. Stick with the normal go to colors to start out this run- pink sparkle , green sparkle white and red fire tail and plain white for a twister tails. We did see motor oil with gold flake working well .. this color the last few years has become a great go to color when nothing else seems to be  working.
