The week starts out with heavy winds that made fishing a little difficult. By mid-week, the winds have died down and the days are absolutely beautiful. Temperatures are in the high 70's.

Guide fishing report: Walleyes are being found on reefs in 25-35 feet of water; green jigs are working best. Northern pike are on the rocks in 6-10 feet of water in heavy weeds; white spinnerbaits are effective. Muskies are on reefs and rock points; large bucktails are working best.
