Can/will anyone give me info on Talcott Lake? I'm hoping to go out on Saturday to do some fishing. We love to catch panfish, perch, walleye, northern, and bass. What lakes are hot in the Fulda area? Talcott, East or West Graham, Okabena? I'll take all the help I can get. Thanks!

I have not fished on Talcot this year, simply because I cannot use the landing. trailer sits too high and it is too tough on a non maintained landing next to the campground. Other than that, I have heard some good shore fishing reports earlier in the year. Some decent fishing being done right now on both Sarah and Okabena pulling plugs. Some reports from West Graham have produced some walleye, but mostly smaller in size.

Yup, the landing on Talcott is not the greatest. However, if you can launch the boat there are decent fish to be had. The east point, and right smack dab in the middle of the lake between the east point and west point have done decent.

Pulling plugs on Sarah is never a bad bet. Algee is starting so they'll be moving to the middle.

I wasn't there, but some pals told me there was a decent bite on W Graham over the rock pile. This was a good week ago so that bite is prolly done.

I'll be out on a few different lakes this weekend and will let yous guys know how I did, and let you pick on my for not doing good enough. grin

Lake Yankton at Balaton was red hot. The fishing report on KLOH reported that there was a tourney there the last weekend in June and that 16 boats had 157 walleyes that were entered in the contest. That's pretty incredible if true. The good fishing might have slowed by now. If you fish Okabena be sure to throw back the 12-13 inchers that you are going to catch. Good luck.

Well, without a whole lot of info on Talcott I gave it a try this weekend. Everyone was right, the landing sucked, but the fishing was just as bad. We caught nothing but a handful of bullies. Of course the fact that we didn't know where to go or what to through didn't help at all either. Hopefully we can start to learn the ins and outs of the area lakes and catch a few meals.

      I've never tried it either but I would given a chance myself too.  I've heard the term "ribeye of the sky" but I'm very skeptical of that.

      Pass shoot them between roost and fields, typically farthest shot 40 yards. They don't fly high.

      can you share some pics of the ribeye of the sky after its prepared?   I really want to try the meat some time and hunt them as well. Is the term falling lawn chair still accurate when you bring one down? lol

      Prime Time for Fall Fishing on the Rainy

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South Shore...  Now is prime time to head up to Lake of the Woods (LOW) and the Rainy River as fall fishing is in full swing!  With plenty of limits of walleyes and saugers being caught, and a favorable weather forecast, anglers are enjoying some excellent fishing. Dress for Comfort: With cooler mornings, dressing in layers is essential. Ice fishing gear is ideal for early mornings, and you can shed layers as the day warms. A warm hat and gloves or mittens are also handy. The best bite on the south end of LOW has been in 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping and as the temps cool further, the bite has been excellent.    Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners remains highly effective. Bring plenty of bait, as you’ll need to sort through some smaller fish, but you’re likely to land keepers as well as larger walleyes. Anglers have also reported good numbers of jumbo perch and occasional pike mixed in with the walleyes. Good Jig Colors: This week’s hot colors have been gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/pink. On the Rainy River...  Shiners and walleyes continue to move into the Rainy River, making it an ideal spot for targeting large walleyes. Anglers are experiencing success up and down the river, especially in areas throughout Four Mile Bay.  Walleyes are being caught in various depths, but 15-25 feet of water has been good. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners has been highly effective. Some anglers are also trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon Fishing: With cooler days and shorter daylight hours, sturgeon activity has picked up. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open, providing anglers with an exciting opportunity to hook into these prehistoric giants. Up at the NW Angle...  Fall fishing is firing on all cylinders up at the Angle, where walleyes continue to be concentrated around traditional areas with structure. Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now. In addition to walleyes, anglers are catching pike, jumbo perch, and crappies. Using a jig and minnow is a tried-and-true approach and continues to yield excellent results. Muskie fishing is also hot this time of year, with anglers casting and trolling to find these predators. Big muskies over 50 inches are being caught and released. For those looking to enjoy some fall fishing at its finest, now is the time to head to Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River. With cooling water temps, great weather on the horizon, and prime fishing conditions, it’s a fantastic opportunity to jig up some walleyes and saugers for a fish fry. So, bundle up, gather your gear, and come experience the unforgettable fishing that awaits you up north!
