LAST WORD

“Burdened with carrying eggs somewhat longer (couple weeks) than usual, female walleyes dumped their eggs quickly as water temps raced through the ‘preferred’ spawning temps of 38 to 42 degrees leaving lots of males still working the shallows looking for love!”

— Kurt Justice, of Kurt’s Island Sport Shop in Minocqua, Wisconsin, on the late spring and Wisconsin’s fishing opener.
