When is the earliest you see whites or walleye starting their spring spawning run?

February is usually a big month for walleyes here, around Barker Hole on upper Bull Shoals. I usually start fishing for white bass in March, but don't really start catching them until after April 1.

But the weather has been so strange this winter, there's no telling what's going on. I was crappie fishing on Tablerock this week, and the surface water temp was 44 in the morning, 47 in the afternoon.

So it's not a question yet of waiting for it to get up to 40 for walleyes, it's already there! Since it's still early in the winter, I'd expect the water to get colder before it starts warming up for spring - but I sure don't know what it's going to do this year. I just wish we'd get some rain.
