The Captain and crew—Don Jamison, Ken Ault, and Amy McComas—had a solid day fishing Nelson Reservoir on Wednesday! While it took some effort to track down walleye, they hit the jackpot around sunken island drop-offs at 25-35 feet, reeling them in on jigging raps.
Quick heads-up: the boat ramp docks are out, so bring your waders or hip boots for the launch, as they are recommended. The water is 42 degrees.
Nice work!
