Redbird's Fishing Tips

As promised, here is the fishing news from our resident fisherman: Bass are still deep, I would suggest using deep crankbaits or jigs. With the weather warm-up, they should be moving shallow, but as of right now the water temps in clearwater remain in the lower 50's. Walleyes are still showing signs of being in the early season. So far we have found that they are reacting better to slow verticle jigging. We tried quicker, horizontal jigging and had negative results. Mike says they tend to get more active around the first of June, but it is likely that due to the late ice-out, good walleye fishing will be later as well. Lake trout are shallow as of right now and are surfacing for bugs as night falls. They should be moving deeper soon.

Comments and requests on what lakes are showing good fish, bait tips, and such are always encouraged.
