Off to Red Lake, ON

Monday is the day. I talked with the cabin owner today. Said the 'eyes are non-existant almost. Ice went out 5/22.

We are on a perfect spawning bay with many catches over the years of some big fish. Weather has been great for the last week. No rain, sunny.

Thoughts on where to start? The big northerns are still in the bay I guess, meaning the water is still pretty cold.

We are hoping they start to move in, out, or at least bite.

We had the same conditions opening week down on Cedar Lake. We found most fish in 12' - 16'. They were scattered all over, but that was most productive. We jig and minnow everything.

The walleyes on English River system, Unexpected lake, below Manitou Falls dam, have been in 4 to 12 feet of water. Guests have had to fish slow to catch the walleyes. Also we've noticed May flies starting a bit so then the fish will be in the shallow mud bays and will hit about a foot off the bottom and not right on bottom like you would normally catch your walleye.
