Just back from Pasha Lake. All I can say is the 16 hour trip there was well worth the drive.The cabinns were very nice and clean, the boats and motors were all in good running condition and the walleye fishing was OUTSTANDING, to say the least. We only fished 4 different portage lakes and midweek we quit counting fish caught at over 300!! The possession limit up there is 1 fish over 18.1 inches and 3 of any size undwer this. We had our limits early everyday and I have never been to a place where you threw back constantly fish over 20 inches!!! The largest walleye was 26 inches and it was released. We caught many blue walleyes at 1 lake and sqaw many bears and moose. The water temp was 70-73 and seeing the fish had already spawned and went back into deeper waters because of the early Spring, some said the fishing was a little harder than last year same time but we had no problems.Some were in 16 ft. and some were in 4 ft. of water. The weather the entire week was very hot and bright sun ( not good for walleye fishing) but the same story, we caught them all over in all weather. No rain and laes were at times pretty rough and windy. There are something like 50 lakes in the area to fish and everyday you could go to a different one if you wanted to. The bugs were pretty bad also but you had to endure them if you wanted to fish. The bugsuits and reppellents worked great. If anyone has the chance to fish this area, do it. You will not regret it. The owner Chad is a very knowledgeable young man and went out of his way a couple times to ensure we had a great fishing trip. We will be back next year.

For those of you that have been there, how good are those lakes for lakers (Beatty and Pasha, itself)? Decent size fish? Five or six fish per morning's fishing, or what?

That has to be Onaman Lake on that clip. I've fished it out of Onaman River Resort and that looks like Onaman.

Thanks,

Dan

Pete, I am glad that you had a good trip to Pasha. That area is a hidden gem for sure. Good to read your report. It is amazing the quality of fishing in the lakes in that area. I thought of you and your group all week. dcraven Beatty is an excellent lake for lakers, real quality fish come out in the spring and winter. I have not fished it for lakers there past early June though so I don't know the summer pattern. Just down the road from Beatty is Paint Lake which is also very good for Lakers early in the spring. Beatty is excellent through the ice. .

Eyemike- yes we will be going back in the future.Thanks for all your earlier help.We still can't beleive how many walleyes are in these tiny lakes.One lake we fished you could see around the entire lake and we caught one fish after another. This lake is the one we caught a bunch of heavy blue walleyes. We released just about all the fish we caught just keeping a few for dineers.Funny my friend called last nite asking me if I wanted a 22 inch walleye for dinner. He and his friend had been out for 6 hours on Lake Erie and they caught this ONE fish. I told him thanks but I am kind of tired of eating walleyes for awhile.We met a bunch of great guys from all over the USA while up there. Guys from Iowa. Kentucky, Ohio, NY, Minnesota, Wisconsin. They couldnt beleive that we would drive almost 1000 miles 1 way to fish this area but at weeks end, we said we would do it again tomorrow!!

Dan- the 2 clips they did was one on the Jackfish river jetboat trip and the other was not Onaman but a small lake 2 hours from camp. We talked to a guy that was at the Onaman River Resort and after 2 days left.Said he would never go back. He wanted to come stay at Pasha Lake cabins the rest of the week but they were all full.

I have told guys back in Iowa about the fish we caught in a weeks time and they almost look at you like you are lying. I just smile because once you have been there you will know. My Dad and I fished a lake called Clist that had blue walleyes. We only caught a few but they were sure pretty. Some of the lakes in the area are so dark in color that the walleyes a a beautiful deep gold. I could talk about that area all day!!!

Is Pasha producing any walleye at all? 25 years ago, it was dead for walleye, only lakers and white fish.

Pasha Lake itself does not have walleye but the surrounding lakes do. I'll be up there in August for some first hand sampling.

Northwind has blue walleyes (walleyes with blue coloration to the slime - not a blue pike) too. In fact, it has black, gold and blue walleyes. I wonder why the folks left Onaman River Resort? I was there with my wife, son and another couple of guys. If the place is good enough for my wife, it is good enough for anyone - she's picky when it comes to cleanliness and such. We stayed a week.

The five of us caught roughly 1,500 walleyes in the six nights there, we figure...; plus brookies to 6.5 lbs and pike to 45 inches.
