The walleyes are thinning out but ALOT of small muskies. I caught 6 muskies opening weekend of walleye fishing on small crankbaits, all where under 25 inches. We got our limit of walleyes though and had time to catch some crappies, found some that were 12-14 inches and that was a blast. Also a great bass fishing lake but not many people know it.
