Fishing Conditions on Little St. Germain Lake
August 22, 2010
Lake levels are above normal on Little St. Germain, Big St. Germain, Lost Lake, Found Lake, and Plum Lake! 2 months of good rainfalls have made a big difference on dam controlled lakes, but the seepage lakes still have a few feet to go. The Rainbow flowage was close to peek capacity when I drove by yesterday. Just like the rest of the midwest, we've seen some heavy rains every week for two months. Fishing just seemed to pick up last week as a cool front moved in and dropped surface temps by almost 10 degrees. Surface temps quickly rebounded with the new warm front, but overall temperatures in the lake dropped into the mid to high 70's. The gills seemed to shallow up and can be found on the outside edges of weeds. We're seeing decent sizes on the gills. Still finding crappie on the bottom in about 18' of water on West Bay, along with Small Mouth Bass at the same depth. A couple large mouth are being spotted in the shallow slop. Good musky action continues, a lot of times in the same areas as the panfish. Can't buy a walleye to save our lives right now! Leeches, worms, and waxies are working well, along with the jigs tipped with a Mister Twister Tail. Inventories on leeches are running low at the local bait shops so when you find them, grab them! Good luck out there, and please practice some catch and release too!
For guides on OPEN WATER, we work with three different guides that range in price from $200 to $365 per day and each guide offers different types of programs including back water fishing, shore lunches, and/or game fish open water action. Half day rates are also available. 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
