Ruely (sp?) told us he and his Dad are buying a fishing camp in South Africa (he is from their). He plans to leave when the deal is done. I wonder than what happens then to Manitou Falls Camp with Mike as an absentee owner?

drove into the camp on sunday. what a dump. the place needs a major overhaul. don,t know about the boats and motors but they are going to be poor as well as the rest of the camp. don,t know why anyone would stay there.

Sounds like someone has an ax to grind. My son, many friends and I have enjoyed the camp for about 10 years. Plan on enjoying the camp for many more years. Great memories.

no axe to grind just giving my opinion on the camp. to go there it must be the fishing or the cheap rates.

I am heading up to Manitou Falls camp with my pops after 11 years of not going. I kick myself for not going but am really looking forward to the trip. My dad has been going for about 15 years now I believe. I know he fishes the rapids quite a bit down from camp. Any other good spots people are willing to give up for walleye? I'm very excited to get back up there and spend some quality time with my pops.

Idahofisher, I just got back on the 21st of July. The weather was 20 to 25 degrees warmer than average. Fishing was good but not as good as it is normally. I had several 100+ fish days. Johnson and clear where not producing as they usually do. I had great luck in unexpected at many of the points, east wilcox, blue rock and many points in the river. We also did well by the dam on the right side and by the rapids. Had several 27 -28 in. walleyes and a 53 in. muskie. Have a great trip. Let me know how you do.

I would agree with Jiggster. I have been going to Andersons for 15+ years, usually around the mid to late part of August. We catch most of our Walleye from the mouth of Goose Lake to the all the way down to lower Wilcox. One good place to look for walleyes is on the East side of the long narrow island in lower Wilcox. Wilcox Lake is shaped like a like a T, with the top running east and west . This island is just South of the T and has a good place to eat shore lunch on the south side. Anyway on the East side of this island is a reef that runs between the island and the shore on the East. On the North side of the reef the water is 25'+ deep and it comes up to 8-10' ft of water. The walleyes stack up on that slope and all along the top of that reef. We have had many 100+ days on that spot with the majority of them being eater size and larger.

Holy Crap jiggster, that is a monster Musky! 18 years ago I saw a 54" Musky come out of Wegg. In all the years of fishing this area we have only caught one Musky and it was 48". Do you have a picture you would like to share?

I have never heard of blue rock. Where is that located??

[jiggster]

I will try to post a picture. It was caught by Copenhagen. Blue rock is located near Goose. Coming out of the river by the outpost, continue down river. Just down river is a green cabin on the right side. Blue rock is located between the 2 points closer to the left point going down river. The rock is under water, about 3 feet this year.
