👤 Derekpatchy rain today but decided to give it a shot anyway. not a ton of luck, just a small walleye, tried some jigs and spoons but nothing impressive. water's still a bit cool, maybe they’ll bite better when it warms up more. headin back next week for sure tho!

👤 Liamwhat a wet day on the river. heavy rain at times, but i managed to get a few bites. caught some decent size trout, biggest was a solid 2.5 lbs. it was a bit of a challenge with the weather but the thrill kept me going. using worms and spinners, they kinda liked the worms better today.
