Eelpout – Eelpout fishing was excellent for many anglers this last weekend, with the peak of the spawn happening right now. Anglers have been finding them between 15-40 feet of water, right on top of sunken islands. Heavy pout pounders, loaded up with minnow pieces and pounded on the bottom has been very effective.
Lake Trout – Lake Trout fishing has been very hit or miss this last week. Anglers lucky enough to find active trout reported it being very easy to catch them. Same spot the next day was often the dead sea and made anglers question why they even bother. Active trout happily ran down red and white tubes, vibratos and jigging raps in 25-40 feet of water.
Crappie – Interest in crappies is growing as warmer temps come to the area. Anglers have been having very mixed results yet. Majority of anglers are still finding crappies largely scattered, still over 20-30 feet of water and largely inactive. Wax worms and small crappie minnows, tipped on small jigs have been most effective on these neutral to negative fish.
