anyone have any luck on opener? I ended up with 2 in 4 hours in the morning. It was pretty tough and cold. both 18 inchers on a jig and leech. got enough for supper and decided to take off and fish a warmer day.

Talked to a couple of guys that had about the same luck.

What was the water temp?

I had 42 to 44 degrees

Not heard too much from the Duck yesterday. With the rain (and snow) we decided not to venture out. Heard that Upper Red was going fantastic yesterday with plenty of walleye and the last couple of days a lot of crappies have been reeled in, so not sure which lake to hit first. Woodman, did you make it out on the Duck for opener? Anyone hit Island?

I skipped my usual Island opener this year. I wasn't sure if the ice would be gone so we decided to wait until one of the next couple of weekends. I would be curious to hear about Island.

Camped at the campground at the east side, and only managed to fish for maybe 2 hours on saturday before getting soaked and cold. Caught 2 nice walleyes.

Today fished Red, and yes, it was lights out as to be expected. What an adventure on Saturday though - it was snowing!

Drake- Didn't go to the Duck, went to Federal Dam and when we got there it was snowing and didn't take the rods out of the van. Our friends did very well in the am so we cooked them up and had an excellent pot luck supper. Fished the river today behind Pamida with the family and at least we got the lines wet.
