Opener 2004

2004-05-16

The opening weekend started slow but the fish house had its share of visitors today. It took awhile, with the extremely cold temperatures on Saturday morning of 21 degrees, for people to find the fish deep in 30 to 35 feet. Water temps were in the low 40's Saturday morning.

People who stayed in shallow water struggled. Cliff Wagenbach, the guide, took Mike and Dean Flummerfelt and Al Sorenson on Saturday and managed to boat over 100 walleye in deep water. They kept 23. Sunday everyone seemed to catch walleyes in deep water. Other than a shower this morning, the weather has been great both days. A few northern and crappie have been caught but most have been going after the walleyes.

By late afternoon today the water temp in our bay was 53 degrees and the kids were catching perch off the docks. If we could have some stable weather and sunshine the fish will start to move shallow. It was a great weekend here. Diane and I look forward to another great year at the Lodge. Dave
