The first day of our spring trip will take us from Basswood into Crooked and I'm hoping someone can share some insight regarding the walleye fishing in this stretch of river. On past trips (all in the Fall) we've typically blown through this area without so much as wetting a line, but considering it's spring, and knowing that walleye migrate upriver to spawn, I'm wondering if good fishing can be had at the base of Basswood, Wheelbarrow and/or Lower Basswood Falls? We usually don't break out the rods on the first day of travel, but based upon your feedback this year might be an exception.
