TDunn Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Hey Guys! It has been at least a few weeks since my last report which I believe was early season steelhead. I continued with steelhead for another week or two up north on Superior tribs then spent most of my time in the rapids chasing some bigger fish. It was the best steelhead run Ive ever seen in the rapids and THIS is going to help! Superior St. Marys A few weeks ago I was out on Superior looking for kings with my cousion Ted before he went up to Marmac lodge for the summer. All we ended up with was this bow. We did mark a ton of these tho! I have had the opportunity to get out for some brookie action too! Both in LSPP and other inland lakes. I havent been out for lakers to much yet. I spent a day on the water chasing lake trout near Elliot Lake. Although we must have caught 20 fish that day they were all bananas We tried several different lures when trolling and jigging. Almost all caught fish! Last weekend I went east of town to a small walleye lake. I had most of my luck with a shad rap smashed right off bottom. Dinner Tomorrow I am heading back out on Superior in search of some spring kings. Then next week, I'm off to camp in Hornepayne. This trip is dedicated to trying out 2 new trout lakes which i am very excited about! I hope you enjoyed and good luck on the water! TDunn Edited June 11, 2011 by TDunn
DundasSteelheader Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Nice fish! Those brookies are huge!
Roy Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks for that, Tyler. You have yourself a great summer!
Rod Caster Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Nice collection of photos. Eye candy to say the least.
msp Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Great report and nice fish. Those Superior tribs look so peacefull and quiet. Your livin the life up there !
spinnerdoc Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 those are some nice fish pics and even nicer scenery
limeyangler Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Stunning Tyler. 2 questions...what the hell is a 'banana'....lol and did you have live bait with you for the walleye and they hit lures better, or is it just that you did not have any. I'm relatively new to this kind of fishing and am always intrigued by walleye caught with lures....i've had a few but not often...guess i dont use them enough maybe. Just curious.....i dont know if you get what i'm asking....lol...neither do i...its 5am. Anyhoo...great report!
solopaddler Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Very nice Tyler! If you're fishing brookie lakes in the Hornepayne area it's entirely possible I'm familiar with them. Will be looking forward to that report! Cheers

As far as live bait goes, ya we did have some. We caught a few jigging minnows but did much better casting and trolling cranks in 8-12 feet. Next time your out and the walleye are "on" try a crank....its easier to build confidence in a lure or technique when the fish are around and biting. Cranks are responsible for some of my biggest walleye. Very nice Tyler! If you're fishing brookie lakes in the Hornepayne area it's entirely possible I'm familiar with them. Will be looking forward to that report! Cheers Mike, ya we are after brookies,lakers and maybe some bows. I will be doing some walleye/pike fishing at the camps lake but probably just in the evenings. The days are going to be spent exploring the backroads. I have a good idea of where Im going but I will PM you for some info or ideas. Most of my time will be spent north of Nagagamisis lake. Thanks to all for the great replies! Now Im off for atlantics in the river....the weather today is keeping me off Superior!! TDunn Edited June 11, 2011 by TDunn

ctdd2006 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Flack Lake is about numbers usually and the quality of the table fare...rarely any size, but the big ones are there...but they've eluded me for 20 years. The lodge is great though! Next time your in the area shoot me a message...I'll show you around a bit if you want. I've got a few stashed boats on a few great little speck lakes.
