The week of May 31st

After a very cold spring, the spawn finally happened towards to end of May, pushing normal, non-spawn behavior out a week or so. Now that the sun is up and the water is sitting around 58-61 degrees, the wallys are in full swing. Guests at Striker’s Point Lodge have been finding the most walleye in 11-18ft of water, wherever there is structure. Many people target the narrows as a reliable zone for moving water, and therefore, hungry walleyes. Anglers have been finding pike in the opening of bays, sunning themselves in 3 – 6′ of water. 5 groups were in for the first week in June, almost every group got into master class fish. 22 year old Matthew G. from Grand Rapids, MI reeled in 3 Master Angler pike, the largest being 44 inches! Ben T. caught 3 Master Angler pike up the Ogoki River from the lodge–all around the 41 inch range . Tom A. also caught and released a 41 incher. Quotes from multiple groups state that the service, food and lodging were excellent, and all groups had a great time together. It sounds like everyone had a blast, and with the weather heating up, so is the fishing.
