I don't understand how the natives can spear walleye on the lake. Do they do it in a river someplace? If so they are keeping those fish from spawing. Why don't they wait and catch them on a line like the rest of us do. Let the fish spawn, more fish for everybody. After the spawn let them keep a few more than the normal limit. This way in a few years the limit for the average Joe could be back to 5 and everybody is happy.
I will be there for the opening of bass season in late June. Can anyone let me know what I can expect and what is the hot baits for smallies are (may flies, weather, lake levels, type of structure to fish, depths, ....) Can not wait til I get there.
