Water is warm at Mim with temperatures creeping into the higher 70’s. A bonus phenomenon to help keep walleye and pike shallow is that the annual Mayfly hatch just went off on Miminiska Lake. Walleye can be seen early morning and late evening “sipping” flies off the surface. Whitefish are also in that mix as well, so fly anglers, match size profile and bring a couple of different mayfly patterns to fool the wary deepwater devils on top. Note – fly people, the brook trout fishing is still fantastic on the tributaries of the Albany; however, as discussed with all who are heading in search of brookies, they have now moved from the pools and runs of the entire river to select spots that are spring fed and have significantly cooler water! They are there and will be competing for your offerings!

Many good size pike have been released this past week from our Project Healing Water’s guests as were numerous walleye! Consider Upper Falls, Snake Falls, Walleye Mine and Wottom Bay for these wonderful adversaries.
