We electrofished last week I'll get the pictures up shortly. Stocked 200,000 walleye fry a few weeks ago will be a couple of years before these guys will be of eating size! October Netting pictures, nice redear, crappie and channel catfish, click on BrownState above the fishing report to see some of these fish. Click on the fish species and it will take you to the updated Fishing Forecast. |
