Indiana biologist Jed Pearson tags a young walleye for a Webster Lake stocking.You cant blame district fisheries biologist Jed Pearson for being excited when we talked about muskies earlier this week.

Indiana biologist Jed Pearson tags a young walleye for a Webster Lake stocking.
Its the kickoff of a new program that Pearson believes will revive the popular, yet slumping fishery. Webster was one of the top muskie destinations in the Midwest 10 years ago but stocking efforts the past few years have produced disappointing results.

Dont Let the Fish Fool YouSpring fishing is about as unpredictable as the Michiana weather.
Take Last week, for example. Sturgis, Mich. angler Mark Zona, host of Zonas Awesome Fishing Show, invited me to partake in the early spring action hes been enjoying since the ice left our lakes.
We launched around 8:30 on a Michigan lake that crisp morning and immediately went to the deep areas where he had great success.
