Looks like a fine time and fine eating. Seeing those pics really makes me miss going up to Lake Wenasaga every summer.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Nice! What were you fishing for them? What’s the limit and is there a slot?
As you know we are plug draggers here. Our limit is 6 per day and they have to be 14” or better. Me and the boy just got everything put away and fish cleaned from chasing them this evening. We caught 3 between 18” and 20” today.

We caught 3 between 18” and 20” today. Jig & minnow, back trolling in 4' - 10' across a point & into a weed bed pocket. Our daily limit is 4 per person, no minimum size (personal min 14"), you can keep 3 under 18.1" & 1 over on most small lakes. On the bigger lakes slot size (no keep) is between 18.1"-21.9".

I covet your fishing spots up there. Fishing here in the Midwest might be okay, but it sure isn’t like the fish part of Canada! Any idea what is happening at the border this year? They wouldn’t let us Yanks in last year.

Still closed, the tourist outfitters & camps are hurting really badly.
Don't like the chances again this summer & fall, as we are presently locked down again.
I'm 2 hours north of the border at International Falls/Fort Frances.

I’ve worried that our camp’s owner who lives in Kansas during the off season would be in a world of hurt not being able to get up there to open his camp. The locals might be “ borrowing” some/most of his stuff I fear.
International Falls/Fort Frances, I know it well as we go through on our way up to Red Lake. We nearly bit the bullet clearing customs at your airport one year when a buddy flew five of us up there in his Beechcraft. Bud was use to the 3,000 foot runways in the big cities, not your 1,500 footer up there. He took off like he always did without standing on the brakes and revving the engines. We were out of runway before we were up to take off speed. Lots of wide eyeballs with that stall horn going off. Made quite a memory.

Small enough lake to get around, big walleyes, outstanding facilities... I’ve been to places where I felt like I was serving time instead of having a vacation. Kello Lake Lodge out of Armstrong comes immediately to mind. Another place called Center Channel had a nice new cabin, but no fish. Eagle Lake was too big. Going to the wrong place can really sour a guy on fishing up there.

I plan on going back, but this season isn't looking too good for them either. I hope Tom can at least get there and check on the camp. Hopefully he won't take a financial beating. You can follow Tom on Facebook, and keep up with the Camp news if that interests you.

A Lake Superior lake trout is a great fish and because of the forage base up there, completely different than a Lake Michigan lake trout. My old charter fishing buddy lives about 5 miles from Lake Michigan, but drives up to Lake Superior to catch the better fish up there. When we charter fished on Lake Michigan, if the rainbows or salmon weren't hitting as a last resort we went to the bottom for the lake trout. Yellow with fat compared to those pink Lake Superior fish.
I hope that you used more boat than what I see in your picture. You are on your own up on that big lake and it blows up in a hurry.

I never caught a walleye trolling on Lake Superior....but a gill net with 3.75" mesh set on the dark of the moon in August will show you that there's plenty of walleye somewhere in that lake. And if memory serves me right the walleye were always swimming south towards Knife River on the north shore.
Life is good live it while you can.

Really nice catches there, we've had some excellent fishing of late, after a very slow start this spring. I've been out three times and taken home a limit of walleyes each time. Shaping up to be an excellent summer of fishing around these parts.

We’ve transitioned to pitching jig heads with half a nightcrawler threaded on them and snapping the rod up to bounce it along the bottom on the retrieve. Not catching limits as fast as when they were crushing the plugs but still getting plenty of fish. Plus they’re way more fun to fight on a jig rod.

Hard to see the fillet with all that gook on it. Make mine the "Touch of summer" picture from page one with a little lemon pepper. You Canada guys are getting all the fun because they won't let us States guys in to come up there and play with your fish. I do see that you do the "tuning fork" cut on your fillet. Lots of guys don't and end up eating some pin bones.

I might have to have a fish taco tonight now that you mention it. We’ve been working on stockpiling the freezer with saugeye filets, have about 4-5 gallons frozen so far. Our bite seems to have slacked off but I think I’ll try them early Saturday morning and see if I have better luck then. This was two days ago

Great photo !!
Haven't frozen a single fillet, since coming to Canada.
Fresh fish available every weekend of both seasons, makes for 4-5 meals of fresh fish per week.
That's why we get creative with how we use the fillets, so as to not get bored.

That's why we get creative with how we use the fillets, so as to not get bored. I have to freeze some to have fish over the winter. I don’t fish much from October to February. 4 month deer season coupled with predator calling and chasing pigs puts a damper on my fishing enthusiasm. Make up for it by fishing probably a minimum of 100 days a year in the spring and summer.

Sorry ! 4 minutes to the closest boat launch / landing. Did I mention that, the new to us house (17 months), sits on 80 acres & abuts Crown Land, so we also hunt at home ?

The wife caught a 29.5 inch walleye in Lake Erie two days ago. She is still excited about it. https://www.tndeer.com/threads/nice-walleye.404208/
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

The second week of June is always when we went to Canada. The walleyes were back in the lake after spawning, the may flies were just hatching and the fish were still shallow enough for easy fishing. Dad would stop fishing for a while because he said his arms were getting tired from catching fish. I sure miss that old coot and our fishing trips up there.
Those are some old fish up there because the growing season is so short. We pulled scales one year and kept track of the length of the fish. I took them to our local DNR who blew them up with an electric magnifier and everything over 27” was over 18 years old! Very large heads with more narrow bodies verses just the opposite for the local Wisconsin Bay fish.

I'm biting my lower lip here because you won't let us into Canada to play with your fish because of all the anti vaxxers here. A couple years of growing big walleyes and pike even bigger up there with minimal fishing pressure and those big guys only down 7-10 feet on your graph and extremely reachable with a jig and big minnow. This vicarious fella forum fishing isn't very satisfying.

If it's any consolation, I'm friends with about 6-8 local tourist outfitters, screaming at the politicians to open the border !

I'm biting my lower lip here because you won't let us into Canada to play with your fish because of all the anti vaxxers here. A couple years of growing big walleyes and pike even bigger up there with minimal fishing pressure and those big guys only down 7-10 feet on your graph and extremely reachable with a jig and big minnow. This vicarious fella forum fishing isn't very satisfying. So Americans who choose not to get the shot are keeping the Canadian border closed? I thought it was the Canadian socialized medicine bureaucrats that completely failed to get out the shots were at fault

Looks like you all had a good time as well as feasting like royalty. What did the northern weigh? Put him back or processed for canadian lobster? Mb

Put him back, I only keep them when ice fishing, or the water is still cold.
Figure roughly 10-11lbs, very healthy fish.
Had a muskie crush a walleye I had on too !
Figure he was mid to high 40"er.
Gets the heart going.

Assuming you are referring to the pike ?
Less slimy & easier to handle & fillet.
Don't seem to smell as much either.
