Fishing has slowed a bit because the walleye are just off the spawn but expect it to pick up by next week.
We plan on doing a bit of fishing this weekend if we have time so I will let you all know how we did.
Wayne and I have lived in this area our whole lives but hadn't fished Canyon (except for whitefish in the fall) until a bit before we bought the camp.
There are definately some different methods to fishing this lake. When its good you can throw out just about anything and catch a fish but when the walleye are finicky the best luck we have is with a chartreuse spinner and a minnow. This is a very clear lake so generally you will fish the bays and shallow reefs morning and evening and deeper humps during the day.
For musky the general rule is that smaller is better. Sometimes when people are having a hard time catching a musky they switch to bass and start banging the musky with their bass plugs. This surprises alot of people. Every musky hunter has their favourites but for the novice musky fisherman make sure you pack a couple of suicks (they have some great smaller ones now too) and defiantely a couple different bucktails and good surface baits. The best advice I have for beginner musky fisherman though is to listen to the veterans but don't believe everything they say. They have been known to lie before!
Bass are fairly typical. They aren't finicky too often but when they are just keep changing it up and you should get them going.
Good luck this summer!
