I'm glad to hear this report from someone who knows the lake. Last May was the first time we fished Red Cedar and we did OK for walleye. But I think this was mainly due to the weather. It got real cold, real fast on Saturday night until the sun peeked out on Sunday afternoon. At least that's what I'll blame it on! We mainly fished the southern portion of the lake, not far from the access to MHL. Thinking of giving the northern portion some more attention. Any recommendations?

Here is a link to a thread on Red Cedar Lake: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry166039 We are heading to Mountain Home Lodge for our second consecutive walleye opener. The cottages are nice and clean and the owners are very hospitable.

We were there for May 24, 2007. It was our first time and it was darn cold especially in the mornings. Despite the weather, we had moderate success for walleye (at sun up and sun down) off the points near one of the islands which I believe is called Swan Island. Maybe one of the more experienced Red Cedar fisherman can correct me on this. I don't have a map of the lake so I can't be any more specific than that. We had the most success using green (redeye) jigs with minnows at about 10-25 feet off those points. Although I would have never believed it, trolling along the shores with a red/gold Cleo (near Swan Island?) caught my friend a few nice walleyes. Were heading back this May for a second round and hoping for an even more productive weekend....

We were there for May 24, 2007 as well and I can confirm that the weather was poor. It was our first time and it was darn cold especially in the mornings.

We heading back this May for a second round and looking forward to it. Any chance I can get my hands on a copy of that map? Thanks!

How about the Marten River Area in late May for Pickerel? I've been fishing the Rice Lake/Trent Waterway area for Pickerel but have has limited success the last few years. I was thinking of heading up to Marten River or Red Cedar Lake.
