Cedar: 

After speaking with some guests at the end of the week, it sounds like for Walleye fishing, quantity was better than quality. They caught LOTS between 15 and 18 inches. One group caught a 26.5-inch and one group on the very last night caught a 29 inch Walleye! (Picture below.) She caught that on a jig with a worm. Most people that I spoke with fished with either minnows or leeches. I was told that the BEST fishing was between 7 and 9:30 p.m. and that the Walleye are just starting to move onto the reefs. Most were caught in 10-15 feet of water. The Crappie fishing was outstanding once again this week. And one group that I spoke with caught between 30 and 40 Bass.

 

Indian Lake Chain:

Fishing was great this week! Lots of Walleye action on the entire chain, even with the mayfly hatch. Lake Trout fishing has been excellent on Augite (a portage lake). It is living up to its awesome reputation for its good Trout fishing – even to the novice! Trout fishing has also been good on the chain. All in all, a great week. We had lots of new people in camp who are excited to come back next year.

This group of 4 guys caught 2,780 Walleye! In one day they caught a total of 588!! They fished with a jig and a minnow in 8 feet of water.

They said the best fishing was always in moving water and typically between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. As for Northern they caught about 290 mostly on jigs and minnows, some on weedless spoons. They caught 3 that were 36 inches and those were their biggest. The Northern were mostly caught while Walleye fishing.
