Lets go with April 7 then.

The clarity is variable, depends on the lake, time of year and turbidity, but I'd say with readings ranging from 10 up to 19 feet on the secchi, it's pretty clear....

Having fished Spider a few times myself, walleyes and crappies are probably two of the more difficult species on Spider. It's gin clear making walleyes best pursued in darker conditions starting...

I'm used to it. Plus, it's a lot more fun to cheer for an underdog than whine about not winning the championship "entitled" to me. With that being said, being from IL, you must be a Bears fan? Good...

Hey, Coach is back! I wouldn't be able to control myself, I'd ask him to "Crown their $#@!" and give the old "They were who we thought they were" speech. One of my favorites. I'm a Vikings fan, so...

The shot with the loon pulling it's head out of the water. That's the best of the bunch, nice silhouette. Morgan Falls looks like a pretty neat place, Copper falls too. That's a full day trip to see...

Fish hit on some of the stupidest stuff...tubes sound perfect! :)

Blue, that last one is really nice. I like the shallow depth of field and the low perspective. George, I really like your shot of the moonrise and friends fishing at sunset. Sadly, I only got on the...

You mean you majored in hoops, minored in fishery biology.

It is refreshing to hear an opinion from a local on the lake daily who is also educated in the field. It provides a much more open...

That thing is a monster! Nice fish. High midday sun too.

Depending on cold fronts and your camping equipment, you could easily go into September, maybe October depending on conditions, we've camped a few times into mid-September without problems.

Sorry late to reply. How'd we do? Fishing - not so great. Fun - always. The first night lasted late into the evening, so starting was slow the next day. The water was low so landing the boat at the...

You should be fine kayaking on the TFF. Is it big? Of course. But it A) sounds like you've been doing this and are well prepared and B) are planning on camping and exploring and therefore probably...

sureshot - Spider Lake just NE of Mercer on the Turtle River.

Twist - That sure sounds like a recipe for a good time, maybe even a few fish. Might have to give those tips a try as well. How about...

Hi Chris,

I'll take 10 years in a day. Actually a buddy of mine got a place on the lake, so we (he) might have that kind of time, but these are great starting points. It's not a huge lake, but...

Going out on a limb, as I know most are TFF fishermen here, but giving Spider Lake a try for the first time this weekend. Have heard it's a tough lake to fish, but giving it a go regardless. Will...

I'm not sure how it went up north, but FWIW I was out around Madison just last week and the walleyes on Mendota were still up shallow. Saw at least one big momma with 10 daddies in tow. So it may not...

Scott, we've been in contact and I hope those pictures work out for you.

BlueRanger, that Tamron you speak of is something that only got made for the Sony A-mount after I purchased my Sony lens....

Thanks guys. Yeah, the first one was THE shot. Sadly on that pass the bird made two flybys and I filled my buffer by the time it descended, so didn't get the pickup, but I'll take it for sure.
...

I don't fish the TFF often, sadly. It's a very enjoyable lake, but it takes extra time to pull boats and make the trek from my brother's place to the north. Regardless, we try to fish it every now...

I couldn't guess, but who cares. Nice fish!

That's a pig. Great fish!

Great looking fish. Congrats.
