Boreal Bay - Fishing Report - July 26th

Is summer here yet? It is starting to feel like July at Boreal Bay. The Mayfly hatch is pretty well over and the lakes running mostly 60-70 degree water temperatures.

Lake Trout are being caught in the deep holes, but still moving around more then we would hope. One day they are on the spot and the next day they may have moved over. Every group after the trout has found some success with some periods being excellent other periods being a tough bite. Lake Trout sizes have been running 2 - 8 pounds with the 4 pound Lake trout being the most frequently caught. All jigging groups in this week.

Muskies are being seen on both LOTW and Kakagi (Crow) lake, seems like when they are just starting to get going, the weather changes and sets them back. Several smaller Muskies caught, but the best have been 38", 43" and a 46". A near 60" Muskie was seen following up a few times on Kakagi along with some low 50" Muskies seen teasing our guests on LOTW.

Walleye have been biting both on worms and minnows on LOTW. Some days they are all smaller 15" - 16" eating sized Walleye and other days guests are finding the nice mix in size. 4.5 and 5.5 lbs were the biggest Walleye for the week. Cedartree Walleye action was also very solid, with most action in the 8' - 12' water depths.

Bass have been very active on the smaller lakes - South Narrows & Bass lake with a hook and worm being the technique for the fastest action. A few 3 lbs bass caught, but we have not seen any 5 - 7 lbs bass caught for about month. The bigger ones are likely a little deeper or in with smaller more aggressive bass.

Northern Pike provided the great entertainment this week with Muskie guys catching several in the 36"-39" ranges on Stevens Bay. Bass fishing guests caught several medium sized Northern Pike on Bass Lake. A 34" Northern Pike was caught on Cedartree Lake. Whitefish Bay was about the fastest Pike action with a 50 Pike afternoon that included a 34". Pike are biting most anything being cast out or slow trolled.

The sunny days have plenty of action at the beach with many children, moms and a few grandmothers enjoying a dip in the lake or a pedal boat ride.
