Spring fishing going swimmingly

Headed out fishing in Leelanau County over Memorial Day weekend? Excluding effects of weather — sunny or cloudy, east or west wind — the timing seems to be teeing up for a good day on the water. As evidence, consider results of the Lake Leelanau Narrows Resort Walleye Tournament held Saturday.

One team abandoned walleye tactics altogether. They anchored over a pod of jumbo perch and filled up.
