Free Press photographer Pat Christman spent a good chunk of the morning out on Lake Washington. It sounds like he got out to the lake and joined up with a few friends who were on the lake waiting for the midnight opener. The trio got skunked, but Christman did manage to see a few anglers pulling in walleye (one he called "a very nice walleye"), and he spoke to a few other anglers who said they caught a few here and there. He also shot a few nice photos.
John Cross is fishing northward on Cross Lake (how fitting). It sounds like he and Brian Fowler (Quality 1-Hour photo/Sport Pix) caught their limit of walleye and then some. According to Cross, the duo had to throw back quite a few because they were over the slot limit. Now, I know what you're thinking ... "Sure they did, Doug ... sure they did," but I'll take Cross for most of his word, and that most is better than many anglers out on the lakes today.
I also spoke with a few friends fishing scattered throughout the region and state, and I'm hearing a lot of crappie reports but no walleye reports. To that extent, I took a few minutes to check the Twitter experiement Outdoor News set up. To my delight, very few tweets were posted ... but of the ones posted, most noted being skunked or the day being very slow. I'd blame the weather ... too bright or something!
Keep on keepin' on.
