I'll agree with Flowage Bandit , prior to the spearing Walleye Fishing was very good , the average fish was larger too . Very few times you did not catch any Walleyes in the evening , etc. , now it more times then not . I don't remember catching any Smallmouth Bass prior to the 90's , never saw a Largemouth though I was told they are present . I do remember catching more ' stunted ' Northern's back then too . The scenery is the same ( minus large log jams and the number of visible stumps regardless of water level :>) ) , it's always good to be on the Flowage .
