Comments

It was a short trip over to Dresbach today. I did not catch a lot of fish, but I did not have a lot of time to find them either. The best action came after dark alongside the short wall. The action here was not fantastic, but I did have some action, and the sizes of the fish were decent. I did catch and keep the one nice walleye, but also lost several decent fish along the short wall. The action after dark took place in 10 – 15 feet of water.

Observations:

The river conditions were quite positive for fishing: the water was clear, the winds were light and there was not much current.
