I always liked snodgrass. Bay 41 isn't bad but a bit of a pain.

Yeah I only use it during the week in the morning. I've seen some shady characters hanging out there partaking in what I assume was illegal activities involving a pipe...
Last year some weekends it was so crowded I had to turn around and head across the lake because there was no parking left. Since the dam is closed guys started using it and snodgrass was empty.

To windy and cold.......... where's your sense of adventure???? Keep an eye open for the Fish Hawk Mopar, we'll be on the Pymie when the weather improves.  What.... wait, my better half is calling, must be time for my hot chocolate and marshmallow.  Nappy time too.

Met the two biologists at the net near Orchard yesterday morning and they brought their catch to shore to measure so that I could watch the process. They caught about 15 walleye from about 7 inches to just over 23 inches. Most of the walleye were keeper sized males. They took a scale sample from the 23 incher. They also caught 3 carp, a sucker two log perch and 3 or 4 yellow perch that were all about 10 inches. Quite a few shiner type minnows, but no alewives, which they seemed surprised about. They consider the catch in this net to be bad ( I thought it was great) and they attributed the low catch to the fact that the water is always colder there by two to three degree and other places in the lake where they catch as many as 75 to 100 eyes each night. they pulled the net and talked about hauling it north to Linesville for the next set. all in all a great time for me. I think I promised to bring them breakfast next year if they set a net in the same place. :)

You should see the net trap on the propagation side by the spillway,toward town. I've watched then with binoculars unload tons of eyes. Unfortunately due to stress or handling them from milking them, a lot of them end up on the menu at the open house at the hatchery. I guess it's the the way of life,a few are sacrificed to make millions of fry. They do a good job a Pymy, to bad there' s more warm water hatchery's.

I've never been to that hatchery for open house. Will they have walleye eggs bubbling away in the hatchery containers, or will they have already hatched by then?

So I just got back a little bit ago and I have this to report. IT IS FREAKING COLD OUT THERE!! Spent about three hours out of Linesville, (just had to get it out of my system) Three crappies Winds NW and a good chop on the lake. Snow flurries. I think the thermometer on my depth finder said the water was 40° but that may not be accurate because I didn't have all the ice chipped off the unit!  Not going to have another chance to go out for about twelve days so just had to give it a try!

I hear ya on work being busy opsman. As usual spring fishing gets underway, and the floodgates at the shop bust open with work. I'll never complain about being overly busy at work ( love that overtime ), but it does mean sleep will be at a premium when the bite picks up soon. Gonna give it another go Tuesday evening. Hoping the fish cooperate a little more this time out.

. Have been singing that tune for years now Captain ... lol ... But I had a State job , started at 20 , retired at 51 with 31 years .... Lucky I guess but I have enjoyed every minute of it , fishing , hunting & traveling with the wife , she also retired from a State job so we were both lucky ... Hope you have many enjoyable years on the water, hunting and whatever you decide to do ..... You have earned it. Haven't hit the lakes yet to cold for me.... BTDT yeah, I know I'm a sissy 🍺🍺

On the hatchery days that I was at, they milked the fish and show how they stirred the eggs with a turkey feather. They also had eggs already mixed. They also had some of the fish they caught in the nets, other than walleyes in the hatchery runs. The walleyes that they have there to milk are hard to believe they are from Pmy and not lake Erie

A lot in big eyes in the lake. I've caught 30 inch fish as far back as the 70's. To this day my biggest eyes came from Pymy not Erie.
