Update

The fishing has been good despite the daily fronts that are passing through. As the weedbeds develop the pike fishing is becoming better. Several nice muskies have been caught by pike fisherman. One fish was 52". Of course Muskie season is not open and these fish were released. The muskies spawned on time, Mid-May and should be over their Post Spawn hangover by the time the season begins on June 16th. Look for them at the mouths of bays and the main river channel. I don't think there will be many shallow fish. The real story is the great walleye fishing. The Wright group hired guide Billy Commanda on Thursday and caught around 25 keepers including 5 fish that were over 5lbs. Anyone arriving in the month of June should consider fishing the south bays along the river. The Spot tailed shiners are spawning in the bays over sand flats. These minnows attract just about every game fish that swims the French. Sand Bay is Red Hot!
We held our 4th staff fishing derby last night and we landed 6 walleyes, a nice pike, too many perch to count, and a few bass. I won the derby with a 18inch walleye but Todd will probably say it doesn't count since he was back home for the week. We probavly wont have much time for derbies in the next month but stay tuned.

We are still getting questions about passports. Just a reminder, you do not need a passport unless you are flying into Canada.
