Heading up to Ear Falls area 5/25 not worried about
the ice being gone but am worried about fishing
Eyes in low 40s water. Normal water temp for us
is upper 40s low 50s. Any advice where the Walleyes
will be? There are a couple rivers coming into the
lake.

One of the basic techniques that I coach my people with is to 1) go light 2) go low and 3) go slow. Fish with light jigs and crappie size twisters for a hint of color, light because the fish will be shallow and on this part of Lac Seul; they will be in muddy bottomed areas with brushy cover chasing shinners that are there to get warm. Fish low, tight to bottom with suttle jigging action; lift a couple times and pause on bottom for the pick up. Fish slow, that pause on the bottom is important for the pick up, fish almost like your ice fishing; it's darn cold down there just at ice out. Still a bit of ice today in lake, should be out by weekend as it's breaking up fast and whats there is real soft.
