Greg K: Rufus Woods - 9/22

I couldn’t have asked for a better day at Rufus Woods. The sky was clear, the wind was light, temperatures in the 70s, and the water was moving. The walleyes were biting, too. I had my limit of walleyes and a trout by 3 PM. The walleyes were thick and measured between 16 to 20 inches in length. In the fall, the walleyes on Rufus are often dark and gold. Beautiful fish! I spent a couple more hours on the water mapping with my Humminbird and enjoying the scenery before heading home. Water temperature was 65 degrees. Water clarity was an amazing 15 feet.

A 20 inch walleye was a nice way to start the day.

The darkest walleye of the day. The back of this fish was nearly black.
