Anglers report fair to good fishing for rainbows and walleye from boats. They are also catching a few from shore. We haven't had many reports on bass and bluegill. For walleye, try a crankbait or a worm harness on a slow troll in the mornings and evenings. As the day progresses, try moving to the points and either float a worm down or attach it to a small jig. Bottom bouncing in the flats (in roughly 15-25 feet of water) also seems to work. The presentation doesn't have to be large. We've heard of some walleye catches that weighed around 10 pounds. Anglers have reported that the rainbows and bass also seem larger this year. The above techniques and small, brightly colored spoons have also been working well for rainbows.
