First Walleye

Jim may have caught the first fish ( a northern ) but I caught the first walleye.  This beautiful fish was 19 inches long so a little over two pounds.  He was delicious on the grill!  I caught it right offshore from the resort.  On the hillside up by the top there is a square patch -- hard to see but Indian Hills is spelled out in rocks. 

There was a fishing derby this past weekend.  The winning team caught almost 80 lbs of walleye in two days.  Most of the fish were 4 pounds each.  You can keep five walleyes any size here and use two rods.  The last several days people have been coming in with their limits of very nice walleyes and throwing back lots of small fish.  We hope to start catching fish as fast and furious as all the locals -- we'll see.
