I was at Potholes Reservoir recently, and although the water temperature was still too low to get the walleye bite going. With the warm weather we continue to experience here in the region, things could change earlier than usual. One of the places where walleye anglers find fish in the early spring is in Lind Coulee. Walleye travel from Potholes up this narrow water way to spawn, and many remain there afterward. I have made a few trips up Lind Coulee over the years. The bay above the bridge on Road M SE is one of the first places we have stopped to troll before heading up the coulee. I noticed that the launch here already has enough water for putting a boat in. As you make your way up Lind Coulee you will pass by brush islands in the narrow channel. There are many places that are so tight that two boats can’t pass through side by side. A couple of years ago my friend Brian Neilson took Mike Wren and me way up Lind Coulee and we caught some very nice walleye. I will post the video on our trip on my Facebook page.
