What do you folks think of a river get together down on pool four. Plan on launching out of Evert's Resort. I'm thinking sometime in April, in the middle or end of the month. Walleye are usually going pretty good down there. Let me know if there is any interest and I'll see what I can come up with.

If you don't have a boat and would like to go, that shouldn't be a problem I'm sure some folks would have extra room in the boat.

I was thinking the same thing....with them predicting record levels, it might be awhile before the river goes down.

My thought are similar to Tom's.  The first 2 things that came to mind are high water and extreme boat traffic.  Most likely, April at Evert's will find 1 or the other and sometimes both.

well in june you can!!!!!! and there are other fish other than walleyes. SO this pool 4 is that near red wing or prescott, us lake people arent river smart.

Close to Redwing, I go on the WI side in Evert's.

I would support this whenever, but I would suggest that post spawn would be a much more predictable time frame in addressing the earlier concerns. 

The post spawn definitely offers a lot more area to fish and the variety of techniques to take fish can be pretty broad. From the angler-pressure standpoint, you'll still have a lot of people though not near so many as the immediate pre-spawn or spawn. Barring excessive rainfall the water should /can be tamer too.

Another thought here is the fall fishing. This period can be really good and some of the scenery can be outstanding. A weekend in October after fall turkey season but before MN's deer might be even better. The fall shift of fish out of the lake can include some dandy fish sizes while numbers themselves would merit the event then. As far as techniques go, you'd find plenty of reasons to practice just about as many as a post spawn outing while the angler numbers wouldn't be near so high yet. The weather would be cool but not likely ice cold. Just a thought.

I would also consider an event later, rather than earlier. Late May/June.
