Group: Smith
Report: Kids had a great time, caught lots of northerns and a fair amount of walleyes. Biggest northern, 2 at 36 inches, biggest walleye 25 inches. An Adventure! We even did a little swimming. Cabin, equipment all worked great. Walleyes suspended on flats, wind drift with jig tail. Northerns in cabbage in the flats on all the points. Thanks L & M, you do a great job. Low water made the humps out in the middle dangerous for boat travel, about 6 inches deep. Location:

Lake: Otatakan
Dates: 8/17-8/22/2011
Group: Fresk
Report: Expecting lots of mosquetoes, etc for this time of year, we were pleasantly surprised to find nothing but a few house flies. Fishing was great as always, but most of it in the deeper water this time of year. Off the rock beds and deep drop offs but little in the shallows this time of year. Looking forward to another return trip next year. Rattle traps worked great on the pike, rapala shad raps nailed the walleye.
