[First One's Out]

Went out of the Chagrin River Saturday evening and the lake was beautiful. Marked a lot of fish, but no luck getting them to bite. We started about 6pm and fished until almost midnight. Fished depths of 8' out to 36'. Used a variety of techniques including trolling spoons as well as drifting jigs and crawler harnesses.

It may be a bit early for Walleye this far east. If anyone has any tips on the Chagrin River area, it would be greatly appreciated.
