Hopefully it will be fun there that week. Just never know. Too far in advance to get a good feeling at this point. I am sure there will be some fish nearby just a size question? Fish the hell out of it and have fun

Should be decent and the zoo will probably not be as bad as future weeks ahead.

There should be fish around then might be just shy of anything big. But that depends. I usually head up there the last weekend in may. If your able to move the vacation a week later I would.

Fish should be in the area, but the ditch can be hit or miss. There's no way to tell until you're there.

3rd week of May. Plenty of fish around. Might have to search but they'll be here.

Make sure you get your fishing permit from the grumpy prick at Portuguese Hole.
