Cedar Lake 

The fishing was off and on this week. Sunday was really good, but then Monday through Wednesday was pretty slow. The best day was Thursday and Friday was really good as well. Everyone caught plenty of Walleye to eat. The Bass fishing was tougher as they were not on their beds, but deeper in the lake. The Crappie seemed to have shut off for now. People are saying they are starting to see signs of the May Flies, but nothing too crazy just yet.

Indian Lake Chain

This past week, the Walleye and Lake Trout had stomachs full of may flies, but yet they were still biting! The evening bite was always best, but they were still plentiful during they day. They are starting to move to the reefs and rocky points. Crank baits and deep diving Rapalas should preform well on the drop offs in 15-17 feet of water. The Trout fishing on Augite was fantastic!

Una 

Walleye fishing was OUSTANDING on Una Lake this week!! The average size was 22-23” and they caught hundreds of these… they had a hard time finding enough under 18”! Their biggest Walleye was 30 inches!! They fished with Road Runners tipped with minnows, and also Lindy Rigs. They also had fantastic Northern fishing. They only caught about 50, but they were BIG! The biggest one they got in the boat was 44 inches, but they had a couple over 50 that didn’t make it into the boat. They did okay on the Bass Lake (Curie) with lots around 3lbs. They had a cow moose and her calf hang around them all week and also saw a bear! These two had a fantastic trip.

This group caught at least 2,500 Walleye with the biggest being 27 inches. They fished with jigs and plastic or minnows. The best spots were the shorelines and portages anywhere from 3-15 feet of water. The best time of day was the evening. They caught “too many” Northern as they were not targeting them. They caught them while Walleye fishing and the biggest was 35 inches.

It was their first trip to Canada and they caught as many fish as they could have wanted. The only struggle was the wind every day making it hard to control the boats and anchor.

They fished with jigs and minnows for Walleye and spoons and bucktails for Northern. The best fishing spots were along the shorelines and 3-8’ of water.

For Walleye they used Lindy Rigs, Mr. Twisters, crank baits, and minnows. They said anything worked. Any point and any island was awesome fishing and the dock was outstanding.

Fawcett

This was their 11^th trip to Fawcett and they said it was one of the best for consistent fishing. They had many Walleyes in the 20-23 inch range and the biggest was 27 inches. The Pike fishing was a little slower, but they still caught a fair number and a few 35 inchers. The weather wasn’t the greatest, but they still had a great trip!

They had 9 Northern that hit Walleyes while they were being reeled in. They fished for Walleye using ¼ oz. jigs with twister tails, live minnows, crawlers, and even salted minnows.
