we've caught over 5,000 walleye from Philpott in the last 15 yrs. give it a try in August, that's usually our best month, but sometimes, July is best,,, but then agin, June has been a good numbers month before..in other words, the hotter the hotter...Glad ya had such a great trip!!! we still catch the occasional trout there also. my biggest was an 8 lb 12 oz Brown!
