Guest Comments: The fishing was terrific. We caught alot of walleye in the 21-23 inch range. Some days we had to work to get pan sized walleye for eating. All the fish were to big to eat. One large northern caught while fishing for walleye, 46 inches. The cabin, boats, pilots, motors, etc were truely exceptional. Had alot of rain and wind, even had snow covering the ground during part of the trip. This was a great trip.

Guest Comments: 2 pike over 40 inches caught in 8-10 feet of water with weeds. Red and white dare devils, silver and white spinner baits. Had acouple other large pike on also but got a way. Walleye's trolling stick baits 5-6 in depth, minnows worked well till we ran out. Many 25-36 inch pike too count. Bring a good, big net. Depth finders really helped with locating the deep holes for walleye. Strout was alot of work to get in with the water levels.

Consistent late spring walleye, only slowed by the constant weather changes and the next day would be good again. A "grouse" week, Aussie for "spectacular".

Group Name: Darling
Guest Comments: The smallmouth are good on Fishtrap. The walleye and northern are best on the portage lakes. All the portage lakes good fishing. Spinner baits worked well in weedy area's, and crankbaits worked well around rock ledges. If you make the hike, Upper Fishtrap has phenominal fishing for both walleye and pike. Caught some big pike during the trip, caught 9-10 pound walleye on one of the portages and lost another good sized one.
