Lake Name: Upper Wapesi

Date: August 7, 2019 – August 12, 2019

These folks caught about 130 fish and about 10% were Northern. The biggest Walleye was 22 inches with most being 15-18 inches. Their biggest Northern was 29 inches. They also caught a Perch, some clams and a couple of rocks! Fishing was slow the first three days due to rough weather with high waves.  They tried using jigs and Mr. Twisters, but couldn’t get the anchor to hold. Once they switched to Little Joe Spinners, they did much better. They could see a LOT of fish but they were suspended. The fishing was much better the last two days using Little Joe's and slow trolling. They caught 39 fish on the 4th day (in light rain) and 53 on the 5th.  They had several “triple headers”, which was fun. They caught a lot of fish by the float and the West shoreline came in second.  The best depth was 15-20 feet of water. They really liked the lake as it was just the right size and had every kind of feature and structure they could ask for. The pet dock-Northern cleaned up any dead minnows and they enjoyed the “trained Eagles”. They also loved seeing the Loons and hearing their calls. They said the cabin was very nice and the boats were comfortable and motors worked well. They also said our staff was very accommodating and pleasant!
