OK,OK, So some information isn't worth a .... The Rufas Woods release does not measure up as advertized, seems to me that an average fish might go 2lbs, an I doubt it was over 2500 fish if that.

Walleye fishing on Rufas has slowed from the slamming start back in march, but early post spawn is often tough. Still, a few nice fish are coming to the net, mostly on jigs, or craw…

Keep in mind that protected waters can be several to many degrees higher than the main lake, so those areas may be days to weeks ahead of others. Both rainbow and walleye are now spawning, although as I've said in earlier blogs nature never puts all her eggs in one basket, so there are walleye and rainbow in pre, post, and active spawning modes as we speak.
