Bright colors have been the trick this season so far.  Orange head/pink tail, green head/firetigertail, pink head/ pink tail, and white head/ green tail. 

 Heard a few reports of fish being caught up on the waterville and bendview metro park area. 

Buttonwood, Bluegrass Island and a spot or two along the Towpath were the productive spots yesterday.  Those as well as Jerome rd rapids should be very good today. 

Gweez its cold, but keeping the river at ideal temps for the spawn.

Walleyes like to spawn on rock rubble gravel to fist sized and sometimes larger rock. The fish often spawn at night, depositing eggs into the nooks and crannies between rocks. Current attracts them because it oxygenates the water. Thus shallow rock rubble areas, current flow (feeder rivers, creeks, inlets, and narrows), and windswept shorelines or shallow reefs tend to attract early-season fish.

Have fun be safe and good luck fishing.
