Annual River Trip Coming Up Questions

[Big fat pike]

My Yearly trip with my buddies to the river at round island is coming up and was wondering how the fish populations are doing and had some questions

1. Does anybody know anything about the crappies as i can't find anything
2. Any Largemouth bass info just curious if there were places close by so that i wouldn't have to go to lake of the isles?
3. Any advice on walleye? i just know they are doing well since the dec decided to end the stocking.
4. Are the Pike and Muskie Populations still struggling or just and does anybody know anything about the chain pickerel would love to catch one up there or just troll the normal deep weeds for pike and get one eventually?I  believe the dec said they are starting to find them in their surveys
5. Anything on Lakers in the river or are they on the Canadian side?

last year was the worst trip in terms of number of catches
