The goldeye I think have moved on . About 4 to 6 weeks ago we were catching them like hot fire down at the North sask river and now its walleye and sturgeon.

I fished the Red Deer East of Drum on Sunday evening. I used 2 packages of Gulp minnows with lots of 12" Walleye and some hammer handles. There was a lot of hits that took the tails off the minnows. I had one good fight but never seen what was on.

unless the regs are different in different areas its probally not smart to advertise using bait in the red deer...

Bait is clear downstream of the Tolman Bridge. Next time refer to the regs before posting.

On the flip side, how do you guys do for legal walleye? Any to be found just around the legal mark?

Thanks TundraBuck, I was wondering when they taught me to read 45 years ago that maybe things have changed and I would have to go back to school. Man that would cut into my fishing time.

There are some BIG walleye to be had right now. I grew up chasing them on that river, and have fished alot of the holes in that Drum area. We caught some rockers, thats for sure. Have fun boys. Shes crazy when they're runnin!!!
