July 31st hit the river at about 630 pm. Lots of poison ivy at landing. River low, definitely could not get boat up to were we put in. No fish caught at honey hole that nite. Proceeded to snag hole where we set up camp. Realized this would be a great place for duck camp as well as there are two nice backwaters very close. Caught 3 eyes that nite, biggest about 15". Also snorkelled and saw many walleyes chilling, could not hook them. Nice camp site. Nite brought many sounds including a pissed off beaver. Morning 5 am caught no fish out front. Snorkel gear revealed there were many fish though. Walleyes mixed with red horse and occasional white succer and pike sprinkled in. Next day brought 10 walleyes all good size biggest two being 22.5 and 23. Awesome day. Caught a couple nice ones in the swimming hole for the first time. No fish caught or even seen on sand S corner. Lots of fish at high bank. Great trip should span it across a few more days.

June 3-6. Stayed at Birch point on Buffalo Bay in Canada. Caught 70+ walleyes in less than 10 hours of fishing. Crawler harnesses first day, pulled cranks and used jig and emerald shiners that we seined from the lake. Used shiners, mimic minnows, cranks the third day. All produced. Crank baits at 2.5 mph in 3-6 ft of water. Biggest fish was 22" caught in shiner. Had a 25" or so up to boat and shook off. All fishing done in 6' or less Most consistent method was crankbaits as it produced all eater size fish (15-19"). Lots of fun with Mark and Ty. Lots of Blue.
Meche
Second Sunday of walleye season. 5 eyes in the 13-16" range. Never made it to the honey hole due to stormy conditions.
