3/11/2015 3:16:00 PMGotta love that puppy. Seems like everything is a couple of weeks ahead because of the weather. That would probably include the spawn (40 - 45 degree water if I read the literature correctly). Canceled my Potholes trip since the docks weren't in. Sounds as if you had a good time. I may change my tactics and use the slow death hook with beads, as you did. I rigged one up but just didn't use it - give it a shot next week. Thanks for the notes.

3/15/2015 4:32:00 PMWhen fishing the water temperature was 41 F at the surface. I bet the deeper water temperature is 38-40 F. I understand Walleye spawn in areas where there is good water flow, out on gravel points. Where is this habitat on the potholes? Lind Coulee? Perhaps the mouth of Crab Creek? or Frenchman Wasteway? So do the walleye move from deep and dispersed areas of the lake into shallower water near areas where there is influent water to the lake? Or do they pick a shoreline just anywhere to spawn?
