Tamarack Bay and the Third River area have been receiving plenty of attention over the past week. With temperatures stabilizing, the walleye bite has picked up. Anglers are finding success in dirtier water, and traditional methods are producing some results. Reports are coming in of keeper walleyes being caught while long lining spinners.Larger schools of fish are commonly being found in 14 to 17 feet of water.

May 23rd Fishing Report

Temperatures are starting to stabilize after a wild turn of events last weekend, and the bite is picking back up. Third River is drawing plenty of attention thanks to its darker, stained water, which seems to be making the fish a little less spooky. Anglers consistently landing good limits are still pitching to the larger schools.
