General Comments

Don't have a father's day gift yet! Just take Dad out fishing and spend some time with him!

Lake is up some but is still about 3' low.

Stocked 500,000 walleye fry and stocked 600,000 sauger fry few weeks ago, it will be a couple years before these guys reach eating size!

May electrofishing pictures uploaded, saw some nice walleye and catfish. Click on Banner Creek above fishing report to see some of these fish . Click on the fish species and it will take you to the updated Fishing Forecast Data.
