If you enjoy fishing Lake Darling, today’s the day. Tomorrow’s Mother’s Day, and unless Mom really, really likes to fish you better not plan on it.

Besides, it’s likely to rain. The DNR reports water temperatures are in the upper 50’s. Water clarity is good. All motors may be used at no wake speed at this time. The fish cleaning stations are open. It’s fair for walleye, with some fish shallow, while others are still out deeper. The shallow bite should improve as water temperatures warm. Black Crappie are fair; fish are starting to move shallower. They’re not on the bank, but are by shallower brush and staging just off the bank. Nice 10-13 inch crappie are being caught. Wiper or Hybrid Striped Bass are fair; Wipers are starting to move shallower and chase bait and lures. Largemouth Bass are fair, and quite a few bass are in the shallows. Good luck.
