    Anyone been to Wilson lately.

    Wanting to go up there maybe this coming weekend. But not wanting to waste the fuel to just look and drive around the lake lol. Anyone know what the water temp is there.

    I stopped at the Ellsworth Kwik Shop for coffee Sat. morning, A guy told me a few people he knows were going fishing, all the boats I saw heading to or on the water were Walleye boats, he also said the fishing was good, KDWP shows 37-40 water temp. I have had some good days in March there both from shore and boat, I might go up Thurs. and hit some spots from shore, Congrats to Halstead winning 3A State B-Ball, beat my Alma Mater, was a very good game to watch

    Can call Knotheads Bait an Tackle, they have a Facebook page as well. Last I checked a few stripers being caught out there. Be curious to see/know how the level of the lake is.

    Hey thanks. That was a pretty fun game to watch. Glad we made that shot at the buzzer cause I think we would have lost it in overtime.

    Never made it. Ended up staying around here and fishing a sand pit. Caught a bunch of little ones and lost one big one.

    I heard they were letting water out in anticipation of the new water coming in.
