DNR Fish Survey Report
Just got the DNR report last Thursday and it looks really good for walleye, smallies and muskie especially on the east end of the lake. The walleye lift numbers are back up from last year's reported 12 (which is average) to 17 walleyes per lift which is pretty great. Expect a great walleye year as a result. May your pole always be bent! Dave

If a trip north is in your [...]
Good Crank Bait Bite
2011-08-20 The walleye fishing continues to be very good with many eaters being caught on crank baits. The break lines have been working for us real consistently in 15-18 feet. Many fish in the 15.5-16 inch range with an occasional big one 20+ caught. Some times we stop and lindy rig a spot we mark fish on with consistent success. Small mouth bass have also been caught with this method. If a trip north is [...]
