Lower End - Monday, June 22, 2009

Finally got out on Lake Darling for the first time in 2 years.  Just got the boat out of being serviced, so mainly went out to check everything out.  Everything checked out fine, lots of water up there which is really good.
We trolled crankbaits from Landing 3 down to the boueys on the west side of the lake and followed the boueys across to the east side and back.  Lots of floating grass and weeds from the high wind the day before on the east side,  made trolling a pain so went back and worked the west side.  Fished mostly in 12 - 14 ft of water in the cleanest (weed free) water we could find.  Boated 7 nice walleyes, lost another and also got two northerns.  Not too much boat traffic on the lower end, but it was a monday, only about a half dozen other boats out.  I think the evening bite would have been much better.  Fish are fat and healthy looking, and relatively easy to find.   The lake is pretty clean.  Access is very good at the new east ramp, landing 3,  landing one is good if you don't need a dock to assist getting the boat in and out.  The refuge people  are working on getting a new dock for landing one.  Haven't heard about the upper end of the lake in a while.  Tight lines...
