Fishing Conditions on Little St. Germain Lake
February 2, 2010
There is an average of 14 plus inches of ice on the lakes in this area, and the lakes gained a couple inches of ice over the last few days. The lake surfaces are hard pack, and traveling is easy across the lakes. Summing up the winter so far, it seemed like we were off to a slow start in December and early January, but by mid January, we started to see a big increase in the bite. Little St. Germain has had some good bluegill action with some spots producing great sized gills. Green weeds in 8' of water works for the panfish right now. We had a nice run on Northern Pike the last two weeks also. Especially this past weekend, even at 17 below zero in the morning, the Jim Hosey group caught several nice sized pike in the weeds with some fish up to 32". The walleyes we caught on Plum Lake and Fence lake in Mid January were 18' to 30' deep. That made me recommend deep water humps and breaks for the walleyes. And then we started catching nice walleyes over the past 3 days during the cold front in 4 to 8' of water. So, I guess you have to try it all for those walleyes.
For guides on OPEN WATER, we work with three different guides that range in price from $100 to $300 per day and each guide offers different types of programs including back water fishing, shore lunches, and/or game fish open water action. www.kenjacksonguide.com
ICE FISHING: We will continue to offer the $30/person per day ice fishing trips for next winter. We fish where the guide likes to go, and tailor that to the style of fishing you're looking for. We also offer a new $150/full day ice fishing package with guide John Andrews www.johnnandrew.com
