Don't have a father's day gift yet? Just take dear old Dad out fishing and spend some time with him! Lake is still murky! Stocked 200,000 walleye fry a few weeks ago will be a couple of years before these guys will be of eating size! May Electrofishing pictures, nice redear, crappie and largemouth bass, click on BrownState above the fishing report to see some of these fish.
