Best depth is around 10’ especially near emerging weed lines. Nelson is 88% full and rising. Water is clear and mainly surface temp in the 60s. Walleye fishing is good. Again jigging is the best method, also cranking and live bait rigs are producing. Look for the emerging weed lines for best results. Good fishing!
