previous spot on my previous post continues to be hot hot hot, every night it is insain action. tried a new spot yesterday as i hiked along shore and found gravel bed with deep water beside. location produced a walleye every 15 minutes or so, average size was 2.5 - 5.0 lbs. Alittle better size than my other spot but man on man does this lake produce plentyfull walleye. tried pike fishing the day before during the day and all i could catch where small ones 2 - 3 lbs. caught a few walleye as well while targeting pike. There has to be a trophy walleye in
this lake somewhere in here to put up on the wall. will post more as summer comes along, I don't suspect this kind of action can hold at its current rate, but if it does it's going to be a great summer of fishing. |

I must say fishing has never been as much fun as the start of this season. Fishing off shore I had found a gravel flat with some deep water beside, The Walleye are off the hook, I would estimate I toss in a rig with a frozen minnow and it takes about 30 seconds before I get a hit. This is all night long, fish after fish, avg. size is bout 1.5 lb, but I get a few 4 lb and up every time as well, 1 beried itself in the rocks by shore (dam weight got stuck in the rocks) just out of sight but i estimate it was over 5lb's the way it was pulling, guess i need to put small test on weight line so it will break off and not loose the fish. TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!! I need to start taking 2 or 3 containers of frozen minnows, ran out too early last few days, LOL You know catching 40-50 walleye in 2 hours is OK but with more bait my goal is to catch 100 a night, YEE-HAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fishing extreme south on the lake shore by upper return from power plant. Used reg Len Thompson. They where all over the lure like a wild bear on a camper pan frying lunch. Had about 20 on the line in 3 hours. Must have found a nice ridge under the water i assume along with a sudden hole 5 feet off shore because thats where they where biteing. 2-5 lbs. good times. Had an easy dozen in same spot a few days earlier, can't wait till the big ones moove in and see more weed cover!! Will go back May 5th and see whats there. |

My good friend was up to Rafferty about a week ago and he said that the water was really stained. He said he has never seen it that dirty before in 10+ years of fishing Rafferty. They did catch some fish but he didn't say where or what they were using, sorry. I would stick with patterns that have worked in the past and then improvise from there. Good luck.

Has anyone had some luck up on raferty after the water went back down? I am hoping to bring my son up there and get into the walleyes or perch. Any info would about presentation, bait or maybe a location would be great.
