Hi WMD, we were there 6/16 to 6/23 and they closed the tunnel on Sunday. The water is very high right now and we had rain all week. Have a great year.

Thank you,

They closed the tunnel but are portaging over the tunnel to get to boats on the other side so you can still fish those lakes.

Hi Sidge61, yes you are correct. They now have boats on the otherside and Clamshell is now a portage lake until the tunnel reopens.

Thank you,

Hello WC Friends, I felt some inadequacy in my earlier report when reading the wonderful trip reports posted by other WC members. I will try to be more specific and brief in updating our trip report to Ghost River.

We found the walleyes in 12 to 17 FOW in what appeared to be a later spring/early summer pattern. They were moving deeper as the week progressed. The water levels were high. We also were still able to catch them in deeper current areas. We had our best results with jigs/minnows and crawlers. We however also had success with trolling cranks.

We found the perch in the shallower water where we found the walleye. They also hit the jigs/minnows and crawlers.

The smallmouths were scarce but were taken on top water lures in 2 to 6 FOW. They were in typical bass habitat.

The Northern were predictable as usual but small and skinny.

For the guys familiar with Ghost River the following spots were successful for walleye;

The North River (mouth)
Burnt Narrows
The Trussel Bridge
Twin Falls
One Tree Island
Larsen’s Point
Garbage Island
Butt Crack Rock
Reefs (they were just starting to move on them)

I realize these are some "regular spots" but I guess that is why they are "regular spots" LOL

Have A Great Year

Thank you,
Larry Mac
