fishing has been slow, some walleyes are being caught, pick a spot where a creek is flowing in and try a chub or shiner off the drop off. Most times I use a plain hook with a salmon colored bead. I suppose a glow jig would work too. I have noticed that the bite gets much tougher the later in season it gets.

mtreno (Mike, I take it),

Yeah, the walleye fishing on Swan, late in the season, gets a little slow. It's coming to end here shortly. However, the panfish are usually biting pretty good somewhere in the area until the ice is gone (which might take until the end of May). If you must fish Swan, try the West Bay for gills and crappies. Also, you can get in touch with me when or before you come up and I should be able to steer you in the right direction for some decent ice fishing........Greg C.

We ended up fishing Fish Lake, was able to catch about a dozen crappies, three of which I considered keepers but let them go. Thanx for the info on Cedar though, maybe another time.

Staying at the in-laws, we will probably just fish URL on Saturday. Possible trout fishing on Sun or Mon. We will see what the weather has in store for us before any final decisions.
