I paddled over to a spot that I knew was going to be holding some walleyes, and the conditions were so perfect that I was sure that I'd be able to come back to this thread and post a retraction to my earlier statement about FlyBoy's orientation.

Another guy I know was fishing this spot when I arrived, and was hooked up to a fish. He told me that he'd already stuck a walleye there this morning, and there was plenty of fish activity.

Things were looking good. I had a full sink line and a streamer that looked absolutely walleye dreamy. Sure enough, I stuck two fish - neither of them walleye though - but watched this other dude hang a nice 20" or so 'eye on a crankbait.

I paddled back to the ramp fishless, so my previous statement stands. FlyBoyWray is still gay, at least until I catch a walleye on the fly, too.
