Factors that figure into finding lake trout in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

One of my favorite Boundary Waters rituals is the exchange of fishing information on portages. It’s a chance for the outgoing angler to brag a little, and the incoming crew to get a leg up on the fish.
This information is gold anytime, but especially when targeting lake trout from a canoe. Lakers can be anywhere in the spring, and it takes time to find them paddling. So, this year on my BWCA trip, like so many before, I worked a couple of proud anglers for information.

Al Lindner: June is one of the top two months for open-water fishing

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

As someone who’s been in the public fishing spotlight for several decades, I get asked a lot of questions. There’s two, in particular, that come up on the regular: “What’s your favorite lake?” and “What’s your favorite time of year to fish?”
The former is rather difficult to answer because there are so many great lakes, and, truth be told, I’d prefer to keep my favorite to myself. The question about time of year, however, is as easy as it gets. If I could only fish for two months, there’s no question it would be June and October.

Young anglers can have great panfish action on Pennsylvania’s Pymatuning Reservoir

Features, Fishing, National Fishing, Pennsylvania /

It seems that many people are making fishing a lot more difficult than it needs to be, especially for young anglers.
Very similar to the classic fathers who disregard the fun aspect of football, while pushing their boys to be the next NFL Hall of Fame quarterback, too many parents force youngsters to exclusively pursue larger fish, which are caught less frequently than smaller, more cooperative panfish.

Mike Schoonveld: BoatUS membership comes in handy when needed

Featured, Features, Fishing, Michigan, National Fishing, Nature Page & Night Sky /

I backed my boat down the launch ramp one predawn morning, guided by the lights on my trailer, the ambient lights in the area, and a pale sliver of moon overhead. I’d done it hundreds of other times so my thoughts were more on fishing than the job at hand.
I was launching alone, so the boat’s long bow rope was cinched to the trailer’s winch support. Once the boat floated off the trailer bunks, I would pull ahead enough to be able to reach the bow rope then move to a cleat on the pier next to the ramp. Easy enough – until it wasn’t.

Here’s what to focus on for finding June walleyes

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

June in the underwater world of the Minnesota walleye screams “transition time!”
It’s when the yearly fishing cycle sees schools of walleyes across Minnesota adapt from their spring (April and May) locations to their summer haunts. And depending on where your next big fishing adventure occurs, there can be multiple patterns or strategies to monitor.
