Walleye Trolling for Beginners

Walleye Trolling Report – Pre-Spawn Walleyes Shallow

We hit the river again for an all day grind south of Bismarck.  We put in at Hazelton, and fished far north and south.  The spawn is definitely on in town.  During the Big Muddy Walleye Tournament, 3 weights came in over 37 pounds (6 fish).  All caught shallow, of course.  We hit the tail end down south as fishing was actually a bit tougher.  Beaver Bay is already over 60 degrees, and the Game and Fish nets are gone.  In other words, the spawn is long over.  Visibility is around 1 foot of water, but the fish are surprisingly missing

Morel Mushroom Report

May 5, 2018 – Morel Mushroom Hunt

May 5, 2018 What: Morel Mushroom Hunt Location: Madison County, Nebraska along the Elkhorn River. Conditions: Sunny and warm, 82 degrees.   Report: If yesterday was slow, today was slower.  Here is yesterday’s morel mushroom report in case you missed it.  I was hoping that things improved enough to matter  yesterday with the warmer temps (it got close to 80 yesterday).  Ground temperatures must be just a little cold yet.  Hiked some proven ground for 2+ hours and did not find a single morel mushroom.  Weather was nice though and it was good to get out for a hike this morning
