Carefull there reporting water temps in the 50's, I was called out for reporting 50 degree water temp in upper Kings River....your gauge must be broke like mine...ha
Not joking....couldn't believe it myself.....3 gauges read the same.....50 was the high...I almost didn't even respond cause I knew no one would believe me.
WC here is a thot.....a friend of mine took a 5 gallon bucket and drilled some holes in it and tied it to a cleat and tossed over the side....that will slow u down or buy some drift bags.
Diamond City is a good area for walleye fishing the bite must have been bad wen u were there.....Peel is another good area of the lake, u have Wagon Wheel resort to stay at and 125 marina for all your gas, snacks and tackle needs.
