Hey guys, I don't live in the area but I go up and fish northern Indiana every summer. My Dad has a house on Wauhob Lake and that is where I usually fish when I am there. Good fishin' everybody!!

The gills are going on the beds here pretty good in most Upper Peninsula lakes. The shallower lakes are at their peak with the deeper lakes with their cooler waters still lagging behind. We caught fish with practically every cast last time out on Crooked Lake, we must have tossed back at least 60 nice fish that day. We fished another local lake yesterday and I had the pleasure of releasing a beautiful 10 " Bull spawner. We,ll be going back to Crooked again today to take some photos of the action.

Had an unique experience yesterday while catching gills. We were anchored in a small bay in 10 ft. of water and doing well on the catching when all of a sudden we were surrounded by Bluegills about 3 ft. under the surface and they were hungry. This lake is ultra clear and you could see them from 30 ft. away and none were on the bottom which was plainly visible. Like small ghosts they were gone as quick as they came. I would guess that they were beginning to stage for spawning as the surface temp was approaching 60. I would guess we released close to 50 of them which were all about 7-8 in. Dick we had some gust here that went over 50 mph and the Walleye have not started yet.

Whoops I guess I did it wrong by sending everyone in this group a message instead of posting it in a topic....fifty lashes for me.

Hey , I'm a flyroder and use crickets all the time , about the only time I use artificial flys is when I run out of crickets or I'm fishing for smallmouths. The only limitation is it's harder to fish deeper than your flyrod is long but it is possibl…

Although I usually fish for bass, the most fun I've ever had fishing was when I found myself casting Strike King Bitsy Minnows and Rapala CD1's into a school of bull blue gills suspending under a creek bridge. The action was nonstop. Since then, I'…

AWESOME question! Pop-up is the main bite early and I call that a "lift". If you have proper gear- your float will (( lift )) slightly up in the water. The reason I talk about sensitivity in a setup is that fish eject their food all day long. Somet…

Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
