Spawning is Progressing Nicely

2006-06-05

The DNR always says a nice warm June is critical for a strong fish class. If this keeps up it should be good news for the 06 class. The weather the last two weeks has been great. We got some much needed rain overnight. The lake is down about 5 inches from opener.

Walleyes continue to be caught with jigs tipped with a leech and some minnows in fairly shallow water. Crank baits have been working well on the walleye and northern. We've had some really nice walleye and bass boated and released. Jim Blevins had a 22" walleye as did Derek Kmoch. Jerry Mink released a 21" largemouth and Jim Blevins released a 19 1/2 smallmouth. Many 17-18 inch smallmouth have been caught a released this past week.

The bass have probably gotten a great deal of their spawning done in a very short period of time based on the delightful weather we've had. I had a 40" muskie hit a bass lure that provided a thrill on Saturday. The fish turned and went under the boat for a quick release.

 If a trip north is in your plans, give us a call at 800-249-3178.

May your pole always be bent! Dave
