walleye hatch the last three years

[gregnwtf]

As I was heading for Canada on Monday we passed the DNR trawl boat heading west. After talking to a few people, the early reports say the nets are stuffed full of walleye at the same spots they trawl every year. Seems that the ice covering the lake may have something to do with a good hatch. I think that over this past weekend of throwing back prob over 100 walleye undersize with more being in the 8 to 10 range, we are in for a great future on Erie. The other statement was the hatch is so much better than the 2003 hatch ! Maybe get back to the 80s style of catching with a spinning rod and an Erie Dearie type lure.

I agree with everyone here and it would be amazing to have a hatch that was "so much better than the 2003 hatch"! But who made that statement? It would be hard to match the 03 hatch let alone be much better.....but hey, I sure hope that's the case.
