One very tough day on Porcupine Bay, between 3 of us we totaled 16 walleyes and 2 smallies. We kept 11 eaters and they were just 16 inchers. We jigged and bladed all the way from buoy 5 back down to Porky with only 1 small eye caught just below buoy 5 in our burbort hole. There was no best color, and we tried them all, and no one depth seemed to hold fish. This was quite different then the week before when Glenn and I had a dinkfest and caught over 55 eyes. The only real difference between the 2 weeks was that the water clarity improved. The fishing should only get better as spring approaches, one can only hope.

One last note: For those of you out there catching, keeping and cleaning 8-10 inch walleyes; do us all a favor and go perch fishing at Potholes instead, unless your intent is too actually help the WA DFW ruin the walleye fishing in Roosevelt. I know some people travel quite a ways to fish Roosevelt but catching and cleaning 8 inch walleyes is just tragic. How do I know this is happening you might ask, well all one has to do is look in the water next to the docks at Porkys boat launch. I don't know what the new fishing rules are going to be but it would be nice if they established a minimum size limit of say 14 inches to protect the future of the fishery.
