Member Posts: 47 | http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=lot&gage=lsli2 Here are the current river conditions at Lasalle, Il.. The river is projected to be at 19' and falling by Sunday the 17th. Most of the feeder creeks and tributaries are running clean with the exception of the Big Vermillion. Hopefully by Sunday there will be some clarity and safe conditions for this weekends event. This is the first flood we have had prior to the pre-spawn period since 2009. Hopefully it will bring the big girls up from downstream and we will see some of the fish that have been void the last few years. Prior to the flood some very respectable fish were being caught and it gives hope that this spring will be similar to some of the events in the past. I hope to see many of you in the weeks to come. If you have questions about the upcoming IWT event or the river conditions, please feel free to ask. Thanks, Adam Sandor [email protected] | ||

Member Posts: 47 | Good Morning, The Illinois Walleye Trail hosted the 3rd Qualifier of the 2012-13 season yesterday in Spring Valley, Illinois. The IWT anglers were greeted with very cool temps and sunshine yesterday, which made for a beautiful day on the water. Thirty one teams braved the chilly start and a river that is just beginning to improve in terms of water conditions. Last weeks inch and a half of rain on top of all the snow melt had the river at flood stage earlier in the week. Water levels were near the 19' mark prior to yesterdays start and slowly falling and the clarity is getting better everyday as well. Some anglers spoke of nearly 10" of visibility, which is great and will continue to improve as the week goes on. Despite the changing river conditions and the cool air and water temps the IWT anglers were able to put together some very respectable limits! A total of 113 fish crossed the scale yesterday with 99 of them being males and only 14 females. Twelve teams weighed a 6 fish limit and only five teams were unable to bring a fish to the scales. Most of the teams had success either pulling live bait or cranks on three way rigs upstream really slow. Productive depths ranged from 14'-16' feet of water and worked the baits up and down the break lines to connect with the fish. The father and son team of Tom Giachetto Sr. and Tom Giachetto Jr. brought in a six fish limit weighing 11.26 pounds earning them the top spot in this event. Their efforts earned them $1,800 for first place and an additional $500 for being the highest finishing Lund Boats team in the money. The father and son duo pulled live bait on three way rigs, focusing on one area all day to find the right fish. Congratulations! 2nd Place-Dave Puetz and Jason Thies 6/10.84 $1,075. In addition to their 2nd Place finish they also earned a $100 Gift Certificate to Hennepin Marine for 2nd Place Lund Boats team in the money! 3rd Place-Steve Sandor and Paul Durdan 6/10.73 $825 4th Place-Gary Merkel and Bruce Merkel 6/10.45 $620 5th Place-Doug Yohe and Charlie Brant 6/10.13 $420 6th Place-Randy Carroll and Shawn O'Malley 5/9.95 $220 7th-Bob Horvath and Mike Thomas 6/9.75 Doc's Custom Jig Bonus 1st team out of the money 8 Chris Clemmons & Bob Hausler 6 6 9.31 Case Zippo handwarmers 2nd team out of the money. 9 Dave Zurawski & Dave Kleszyk 6 6 9.1 10 Maury Schmerbach & Marty Berns 6 6 8.87 11 Tim Aherns & Carl Holten 6 6 8.83 12 Ryan Feldott & Steve Stone 6 6 8.35 0.00 8.35 2.01 13 Max Actis & Mike Stuckert 6 6 8.32 0.00 8.32 0.00 14 John Dalzot & Joe Perez 3 3 7.22 0.00 7.22 4.19 4.19 Walleye Big Fish of the event $310 15 Brian Mazur & Mark Mazur 5 5 6.59 0.00 6.59 0.00 16 Glenn Daugherity & Kay Hohn 5 5 6.55 0.00 6.55 1.65 17 Jim Preissner & Doug Lampen 4 4 5.95 0.00 5.95 0.00 18 Roy Perez & Troy Tregoning 4 4 4.99 0.00 4.99 0.00 19 Ken Dage & Dawn Dage 3 3 4.71 0.00 4.71 0.00 20 Mike Swalec & M Como 3 3 4.58 0.00 4.58 0.00 21 Paul Mathews & Cheryl Mathews 2 2 3.43 0.00 3.43 2.27 22 Steve Jones & Steven Jones 2 2 3.38 0.00 3.38 1.85 23 Ted Mathews & Nick Mathews 2 2 3.14 0.00 3.14 0.00 24 Scott Anzulas & Bob Jones 1 1 2.58 0.00 2.58 2.58 25 Dan Palmer & John Reynolds 1 1 1.86 0.00 1.86 1.86 26 Jason Wrosch & Joe Quattrochi 1 1 1.49 WoodStock Line Bonus/Lowest Weight 27 Jerry Reyburn & Lanae Reyburn 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 27 Mike Hanson & Matt Wohead 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 27 John Smith & Dave Hall 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 27 Adrian Cliffe & Josh Elsohoff 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 27 Chris Payne & Michael Payne 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 I would like to thank everyone who participated in this event and all of our sponsors who make the IWT possible!
