Allen,
Get a good lake map and a good place to start is just west of the stone retaining wall that is man made. You have to go around it when you launch at the north-east side. Use live bait under a slip bobber rig and fish the 8-11 foot depth until you locate fish. I've always caught walleyes there ( most were undersized, but fun to catch and release)

Thank you for responding. I've fished that area before, but later in the season. Its nice when the wind can push you so that you don't have to use the trolling motor to postion yourself. I have the hot spots map, but I was hoping to try and locate somewhere where they have other maps. Are you aware of any other maps besides hot spots? I'm also looking to locate the bait shop near the lake, I know where the bait shop is in Delevan. I was also told out in front of the Lake Fawn Lodge on the rock rubble. I can't find any rock rubble there.
A good place to try is down by the Delevan sailing club. It is a norrowing in the lake and there is a deep drop(off the point there). I was there last year with leaches on a lindy rig a did well.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. WE'LL BE GOING DOWN THERE AND I WILL BE SURE TO TRY THAT. YOU ARE TALKING STRAIGHT OUT FROM THE SAILING CLUB INTO THE NARROWING, NOT BACK TOWARD THE LAUNCH SITE. I REALLY ENJOY USING A LINDY RIG, I KEEP THE BAIL OPEN NOW BECAUSE I'VE ALMOST LOST ACOUPLE RODS ON LARGER FISH. HAVE YOU TROLLED ON LAKE DELAVAN, I HAVE BEEN ON THE LAKE ALOT AND DO SEE PEOPLE TROLLING, BUT I REALLY NEVER SEE THEM DO VERY GOOD.
