I’ve caught about 200 walleye and about 10 dinky pike there this season.

Sounds like wab had a poor age class recruitment back then if you weren’t catching under 6 or 7 pounders. Poor lake missed a few years. Lakes that have sparotic or inconsistent spawns tend to be feast or famine for a fisherman.
