Keep in mind that I am always looking for images for our newsletter; fish, sunsets, sunrises, other anglers fishing, equipment, anything fishing related. I can use them all. Large, unedited images are best. Thanks.

Dan Scheda & I went walleye-in & fly-rod-in near the S. Gap today. We started slow trolling with a spinner & worm on a three-way. Got an 'eye right off the bat but it was slightly undersize. After trolling around some more & catching only white perch, we move to outside the wall & eventualy to the Roundhouse where we were getting only gobies. The fly didn't get anything. Back to the S. Gap where we ended up with getting a final tally of 4 'eyes (one was legal) & a few more white perch. No bass, no sheephead, no rock bass, no yellow perch. water temp was 72.8 deg F on the surface

After getting most our crawlers get eaten by 4" & 5" white perch, Dan & I looked at each other & thought "musky food." They were just the right size that a musky would like for an appetizer. Time to think "match the hatch."
Jojo...any white perch lures in your stash?
HAH! Good point, John! And talking to the others guys fishing, there were a heck of a lot of those small 'eyes too. Talked to one guy out there who was running the same short pattern with his electric over & over & he told us he hadn't gotten a legal one yet this year. Grandma's & a big Toothy in "yellow pike" color?
I think that the 15-1/2 incher we got was out of the norm but we had it for dinner this evening. Thickest meat I ever saw on a 15 incher, hands down. The fillet was over 3/4" thick but not quite 1". Those 'eyes gotta be eating good.
We quit at dark & when we pulled out noticed that there were already about a half dozen boats with lights on in the basin surrounded by the Gap, Coke Channel & Gallagher's.
