Fish Report - 2007

Walleye and Steelhead, good eating, great action!

The water warmed up early and we got off to a great start. Locally spawning walleye became active on the first weekend of June. A young lady from Michigan caught a nice nine pounder along with good numbers of screaming steelhead. The steelhead (rainbow trout) coming out of the cooler water are plumb crazy and it takes a very steady hand to keep them on the hook. Jump, twist, fly .... and sometimes - goodbye. Great action only a few miles out of the harbour. 

More walleye were tasting spoons as the month progressed. Steelhead continue to be eating ferociously. Continue to get mixed catches of walleye and steelhead - makes a real nice box of fish. Weather has been great. A great start to another great season. Expect the big schools of walleye to start showing up about mid July. 

The big schools of Western Basin walleye they're way to the cooler waters off of Erieau. Good catches of 2-3 lb walleye for the table. Steelhead going strong. Winds of mid August flipped the lake and scattered the fish a bit but we kept on them. 

Another great season. Population of both walleye and steelhead look good for next year. That massive 2003 class of walleye just keeps coming...should be in the 4-5 lb range for 2008.  

Fish Report - 2006

A great year for walleye and steelhead. The 2003 class of walleye made their appearance and will keep on coming.

June

Got started mid June. Steelhead going good just a few miles out of the harbour. We were getting 6-12 on a trip, great action. Some of the older, bigger, walleye were also landed but have been spread out. Steelhead action continues.

July

Good numbers of steelhead landed. Great action. July 17th, WOW, the 2003 massive class of walleye moved in about 7 miles west of Erieau. Real nice 2-3 pounders. Steelhead still in the area. The fishing is great and expect the walleye to slowly move eastward out in front of Erieau. Haven't seen this number of walleye in 7-8 years - this is great! Should be good for the rest of the summer.

August

The great fishing continues! The fish, both steelhead and walleye, have been moving around but manage to keep a bead on them. Been traveling anywhere from 5-15 miles. Need to know the local info to keep on them. Some great catches including numerous limits. 

September

Big blow hit over Labour Day weekend.... scattered the fish and flipped the lake. Best to get here before the big end of summer blow. 

Nice mix of walleye and steelhead.

Great trout action!

Scott comes every year for some great action.

Trout and Walleye...a good feast!

Ruth got into that 2003 class of Walleye...fill that cooler!
