FISHING TIP TRIVIA
| May & June is prime time for serious fishermen. The fish are in shallow bays and rivers during May. Cool weather is not unusual so dress accordingly. Late May to mid-June brings bugs; however, light colored clothing and bug spray helps overcome this. Due to our Island location, the black flies are not a problem at camp. Plan your shore lunches on windy points. Notice sheltered bays for moose with young at this time of year. |

July & August; Walleyes are found on rocky shoals, sandbars, and around islands in 8-10 feet of water. Northern Pike are found off bullrush beds, especially watch for the leafy pike weeds that just break the surface of the water - stop and fish them.
Summer pike fishing on Lady Evelyn is fun. Early July usually brings out a hatch of Matflies. They don't bite, but they sure bring the Walleyes and the Whitefish to the surface. A good time to use a fly rod.
Smallmouth Bass fishing is exceptional from opening through fall, live bait or artificials work equally well. |
Late July to September
Time for BIG Northerns, weather is generally mild, but a north wind can bring cool temperatures after mid-August.
September 15th signals Fall fishing, warm days and cold nights. BIG Walleye, Bass and Pike are common. |
