4/9/24: Today our Nonprofit organization Cast It Forward had the honor and pleasure to have four Erie County veterans from the Erie County VSC on board with us for a memorable morning of springtime walleye fishing.
We concentrated our efforts just off the can and reef complex looking to intercept any fish moving into and around the area. Our strategy proved successful, and we were rewarded with a nice cooler full of fish.
The water temperature read 47 degrees, winds SW <10 mph, water clarity 2’, barometric pressure 29.43 InHg and trolling speed 1.4 mph. A variety of lures proved to be successful. WNC Reapers in Atomic Shad and Black Frog and Reef Runners in Cat / Dog and Barbie run anywhere from 40’ - 80’ back unassisted all proved productive.
Please join us in thanking Lori, Jim, Chuck, and Don for their service to our country.
Today’s event was funded by the Mylander Foundation of Erie County.

With the warming water temps and unstable weather patterns recently, the lake and fish conditions are changing on a daily basis. Today we spent the day searching for and catching a mixed bag of spawned out fish. Although the fishing was somewhat inconsistent, we still managed to put a nice box of fish in the boat.
The lake’s surface temperature read 52’, winds were WSW @ 10, water clarity 2’, trolling speeds 1.5 mph and barometric pressure at 30.15 inHg. Walleye Nation Creations Reapers in Anti-Freeze and Wonder Bread 100-120’ back, Tommy Harris custom painted Night Stalker 80’ back, and Reef Runner “Cat / Dog” 60’ back all produced today.
Please join us in thanking this fun group of Team VIAC members, Nick, Woody, Chuck, and Cassie for their service to our country and community.

We also welcomed onboard as a special guest, local outdoor writing legend D'Arcy Egan. D’arcy was on board with us to learn more about our organization and to gather information for an upcoming article he is writing.
Today we spent the morning targeting and catching a mixed bag of pre and post spawn fish. These fish are moving constantly in and out of their spawning areas and it’s not uncommon at any moment to catch both pre and post spawn fish.
The lake’s surface temperature read 57 degrees, winds were WSW @ 10, water clarity 2’, trolling speeds 1.8 mph and barometric pressure at 29.93 inHg.
Our best lures and leads were Walleye Nation Creations Reapers in Anti-Freeze, Hunke Hammer, and Purple Tiger patterns run unassisted at 30’-80’ back and Bandits in Blue Shiner and Glare patterns run unassisted at 30’- 60’ back.
Please join me in thanking husband and wife veterans and Team VIAC members Milt and Cheryl for fishing with us today and for their dedicated service to our country. Also, a special thanks goes out to D’arcy Egan for joining us on the water.
