  I fished Gills this last weekend and only caught one 19 inch female. Limited mid March but this weekend was rough

  Nicely done! How has the walleye bite been on the Wolf? I fished around Gills Landing at the end of March when ice was still moving in the water and didn't ...more have much luck

  Not every day you catch a species that's been around since the dinosaurs

  Seems like I hook at least one of those every time I fish the Wolf in the spring, though they usually aren't that big! Nice one!
