Suprisingly, she said yes!! In WI we have 6 season to apply for, knowing how cold the 1st few seasons tradition are, I had her apply for 4 season, which... |

As many times as you can cast, you can catch walleye on Snowshoe Lake. It is incredible when you can hit the same spots throughout the week and they will produce as consistently as if they were never fished! The size structure was not quite as big on the walleyes, but Lambie hit a couple nice northerns again.
