    Fishing has been very tough over the last week or so.  The warm weather has confused the fish and they aren’t sure whether they should be in their fall or summer patterns.  The best bite on the lake remains the walleye.  They can be caught off the weedlines. Walleye pike can be caught trolling deep diving crank baits or jiggin...
