The Mayflys are Coming



Fished with Captain Daryl and his hunting friend Tony. Temperature this morning was in the upper 50s and it only made it to the lower 60s on the water. The wind was out of the Northeast at 10 knots for the better part of the day. It was cool enough that I had a flannel shirt on most of the day. When we got back to shore the temp was in the lower 80s. The waves were around two feet and the water temp is 67 degrees. The mayfly hatch is starting, which is going to make the fishing tough. We started fishing about two miles east of Sputnik trolling with jet 20s and spoons set from 80 to 90 feet behind the boards. We were marking a few fish but were not catching anything so we trolled towards West Sister Island. It took awhile to find some fish but we finally caught a few walleye northwest of the Island (41 46 115 / 083 07 100). We set the leads back to 95 and 100 feet as we were fishing in deeper water and then we started to catch some fish. Kept 6 walleye for the day.
