Since most of you are not even sure where it is.....this is probably the best report you'll get.
I live real close to the lake, I can be unloaded on the lake in 20 minutes.
Pretty much spent most of my younger years fishing it with my dad, good bass fishing back in the day, now the bass are smaller, you can catch a good amount during the right times of the year but like 14" is the biggest I normally catch????
Muskie fishing was great in the 80's then tapered off. Early 2000's I was strictly casting and would see like 1 fish per trip. 2005 was the last I caught a muskie there and I had a pretty good spring and caught a few and saw some nice fish.
I believe that was the year they lowered the lake, suppost to be a problem with the dam they are working on but in like 2012 or something crazy like that is completed dam repair, plus filling it again. The dam level is down 20-30 feet from normal which pretty much kills any casting and shallow flat type areas, pretty much stuck with trolling the main channel and two bays that are left.
You'd think it be easy now....it's not.....I haven't caught a fish since 2005. I don't waste a lot of time there but nights after work and weekends I can only fish 1/2 days or whatever I go there. I did finally have a fish on and lost it this spring early in May, seemed like a nice fish, felt good.
Normally I fish Pymie in the spring but it was dead this year so I actually spent a lot of time there this year thinking it has to be easier with the fish having less water but....the fish are not playing. I did spend full days there this season.
I keep hoping it will be good or I can figure something out since it is so close but it just doesn't happen.
I say your time would be better off spent somewhere else, if you want to fish a pretty lake I don't think you'll find a nicer one. Very little boat traffic since it is drawn down low. The launch gets shut down early, last year it was end of Aug. and they were below the launch with the water level so the good months were out!
They did extend the launch last fall so hopefully I can try it later on in the fall.
By best fish there is 47.5 in 2000 and last fish caught was 2005 before the draw down of the water.
Not a very promising report for you but that's what I got. I sure wish it was better since it is so close.....if it was I probably would of kept it hush hush hush ......ha ha ha
If you do go let me know if you do anything.
