Fishing Update



I have been quizzing everyone who comes off the water on how the fishing has been. The fishing varies from lake to lake and with the skill and knowledge of the fisherman. Since ice out was so early it is hard to predict. My reports have all been consistent, Lake Trout are elusive, Walleye are haven't been so great and everyone is catching smallmouth bass. That is of course coming off the lakes in the general Clearwater area.

The fishing highlights from the Cook County News Herald are:

Trout are at about 40 feet now and can be caught with some patience.
Walleye on smaller lakes are producing Walleye at 6 to 10 feet. In the larger lakes Walleye are 45 to 55 feet deep. Fish the weed beds for Northern with using raps or minnows. Smallmouth are at about 15 feet and doing well with night crawlers.

The bug report.....well, it is June. What can we say?
