Thank you guys ,dnr has put some really NICE fish in over the yrs, to date i've caught 2 bows over 24" and 1 splake 26" . great place to go to feel a tug or two . seems like i'll be fishing alot at the home waters . With gas being the price it is not to many trips this year. may just 2 trips max.

Keith- When did you happen to catch that splake? I haven't been fishing foster-arend nearly as long as you have. A splake would look awfully good on my life list. I'd only heard of rainbows, brood, and brown trout out of there.

started fishing forster's around 96 , i'v caught a lot of trout in there. DNR has done a great job stocking it. Caught the splake last winter. I had heard from a friend that they (dnr) had stocked splake in it. I didn't belive it , till i saw him catch one . then three days later i caught one, what a surprize it was such a great looking fish that i had to keep it and have it mounted. ( not done yet) still waiting for my 26" bow to be finished. Any time you want to get together and go let me know i've got all the time in the world. two days ahead would be good. have a good day!!. p.s. don't forget about the brookie's.

Hey guys it's me the foster fishing guy, well nothing much to report saw a few trout around the dock, but NO BITES. used fatheads crawlers & wax worms but no look see's I swear that the dnr feeds the fish before they stock um. I do recall hearing that somewhere. Oh well that why they call it fish'n

when is the next time they are going to stock it again, i was out there last weekend, we caught a 23" bow, a 20" brown and many small rainbows. There were so many people out there, it is kind of hard to believe there is still fish out there. Might give it a try this weekend.

      Finally made it back up to Vermilion after 20 days off.  The ice out from McKinley Park was in very good condition.  I walked out 5/8 mile with my portable in the morning and I didn't find any water or slush on the ice.  I had 14 inches of ice with only the top 1 inch being white.  The ice was a little bumpy in spots and smooth and slick in others.  Snow cover was less than 50 % as shown in the pictures below, looking back at the landing and out from the bay.  Many full size pickups were driving all over and there were a lot of larger wheel houses out.  I hauled my small skid house out with my side-by-side in the afternoon and was very happy to be in it after dark when the wind really started to pick up.  Felt bad for the portables around me that were picking up in those conditions.  When I drove off just before 7pm, the drifts were getting much bigger and there was much more bare ice than earlier in the day.   Fishing was quite good in the morning.  Best bite was between 915 and 1045.  The walleyes preferred the smaller rainbows and chubs and wouldn't touch a very large rainbow and shiner that I tried for a while.  The walleyes were quite small with the biggest being only 14 inches.  I did manage to catch a 29 inch northern, my biggest pike in many years.   Good luck fishing, enjoy the lake, and please pick up your trash.

      For sound to return doesn't it need like, well a chamber, hills, valleys. 🤔 The Internet?    Um, sorry there's no hot redheads on this site screaming out in the wilderness for you!!

      Anyone on here fishing Niles Point with a couple of kids last weekend?  You might want to let them know that the 'echo' they returned from across the lake has gone viral!    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEQJ6lmxco0/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet   As of right now, 2.6 million views on Instagram and 1.1 million on TikTok...and climbing.  I feel happy when my posts on this board gets 12 likes! lol

      I went one last time yesterday afternoon with a friend for a few hours.  We each got one, and we each missed one.  Raised about 20 birds at four spots, plus one deer.  Unfortunately, the season is now over.   It was a superb season though.  Second best season I've had with this dog.  She just had her 13th season.  I hope she can do it again next year.   I'll be sorting my sock drawer now for a couple months...

      He can have this one!  Haha!  We shoulda maybe stayed on top in 14 but we could see the bottom so clearly and it was shallower than we really wanted.  The quick deeper water check yielded perch and pike right away, so we moved.  Caught plenty before dark, now pretty quiet.   I have a hunch the bay WILL fish shallower than the main lake we’re used to.   16 inches of good ice out here.

      Thanks for reminding me to make sure that one is in the fish house!  It’s tradition that we watch that on the first trip every year.
