Good size and numbers of walleyes, along with strong numbers of tasty yellow perch and feisty smallmouth bass and northern pike, make Mullett Lake an exciting fishing destination.
Steelhead and suckers are in the rivers and light numbers of fish have been caught by anglers wading and fishing from shore.
After the surprise opener on April 7, trout fishing was good in lots of stocked streams, but the bite was reported to stronger in some than in others. And before that, the panfish were biting.
The bite should warm up with the temps, and don’t forget that shore fishing, where possible, can be productive this time of year.
The rewards for figuring out ultra-deep Trout Lake are worth the effort. Once one gets past the intimidation factors, a healthy supply of quality walleyes, smallmouth bass, and northern pike awaits.
