#5 Indiana , hammered silver with solid chartreuse beads and a silver one in the middle , hammered gold with Salmon coloured beads and a silver one in the centre. Seems to work for most applications although the last batch I made were Colorado blades from Northland Tackle. Same colours. Colorado has a little more lift at slower speeds but if I'm going that slow to make a difference then I would change my whole presentation. I just happened to like the quality and Finnish on the Northland blades. Super shiny/reflective.

You are right about the spawn. From my experience over the last 5 years and another avid angler who always fishes there (most days we fish together...sort of) there are a lot of big trophy Walleyes there many with tags and transmitters after the spawn is over. It is not uncommon for us to catch 3 or 4 per day 30 inches and bigger June thru July. Then again sometimes you can go for days without a hit. August and Sept seem to be slower with a better chance of catching dinks (25 in and smaller). My day could consist of 2 hours, maybe 4, maybe 8, maybe split days 6 hrs in the morning 2 in the afternoon, just depends on weather and water flow from Boulevard Lake and the electrical generating plant. When you fish a small area 5 to 7 days a week and with the hours put into it you get to know where they sit and where they seem to always enter the river and where you will always get the bite when they do come in to feed from the big lake or perhaps just to warm up. That being said the earliest I have caught there is May 31st. From the opener to then the Walleye elude me and it doesn't make me happy. Makes me think I'm doing something wrong but I just tell myself it's the water flow lol. I have seen a couple caught around May 20th though. Both on spoons. I think I have a pic of one. If I can find it I will attach it. As flyndie22 has said "Ive yet to see anyone catch a walleye there". That only means he hasn't been there to witness the event. It only takes a few minutes to catch and release and having someone around to take a pic sometimes eludes you. I have had many people wander down the dock and ask "catch anything". I don't think they believe what I tell them. There are a few members on this site who know "exactly" where the bite is. Here's a tip......they are shallower than you may think! I hope to see you at the dock this season.
