Fishing Tips
Walleyes are one of the most sought-after game fish of the spring spawning season, and a delicious addition to any dinner table. They are known to be sensitive to light and noise, and have a reputation for spooking easily. A little patience will reap BIG rewards while fishing the weedy beds! Equip yourself with an assortment of colorful jigs, live minnows, or crank-style baits. The best time to catch a hungry walleye is during the warmest afternoon hours. Warm temperatures help to speed metabolism and make for more active fish!
Crappie fishing is a great spring activity too! Male crappies strike at anything that comes near their nest. During their spring spawning, it’s best to fish near vegetation on the shoreline. Once the spawning is done and the warm summer sun beats down on the water, crappies can be found in deeper water pockets and sunken logs. Think about bringing some small minnows, it seems to be the crappie’s favorite!
Looking to land a monster this summer? Musky fishing offers up quite a thrill! Patience is key when it comes to landing the king of the lake! Musky are generally a solitary fish with picky taste. There are oodles of bait choices out there, and several guides in the area would be happy to show you the hotspots!
