fishing reports Ely Rainbow Video/Report

[nlayne882]

Went up to Ely for the weekend and did some trout fishing on Miner's Pit right in town. Didn't matter what time of day, fish were always biting. Tried crawlers, plastics, and spinners but what worked the best was a small storm smash shad deep diver. Black and gold were the colors of choice. Most of the fish were caught along the shoreline in about 30 FOW with lots of submerged trees around us. Trolled forever with little to no luck, and casting the banks and in between the trees seemed to do the trick. Tons of fun up there with some great fishing. Get it while it's hot, and enjoy the video!

While attending college in Ely, Miner's Pit was a great place to fish. I see nothing has changed. Sweet video Nate!

[nlayne882]

Thanks guys! I didn't get all of our other fish on camera, but it was such a beautiful weekend to be doing some inland trout fishing. Tons of fun!

Nice report. I was on tofte lake on friday and did well. They were surfacing everywhere. But caught them all trolling either mepps spinners or a rebel craw. Rainbows are a blast to catch, especially if you can find the bigger hold over fish!

[nlayne882]

Yeah they are very fun to catch. Thinking about heading up to Tofte this weekend and trying my luck. Always a great lake to fish summer and winter!

You can not go wrong with either of the lakes. Sight fishing in the winter was a blast. I never caught a truly big splake but see some huge ones in Tofte. Biggest Rainbow and Brook Trout came from Miners fishing the same way as nlayne. If you get chance to head into Judd Lake that is were we always got some big Rainbows. 

Great Video nlayne!! Those dead heads in Miners crazy!!

[nlayne882]

Yeah we went to Tofte last winter and caught some monster splake in two feet of water. The dead heads on Miners are a little scary to navigate around, but a lot of the fish tend to hang in them! Just a little tough keeping the lure off the logs!!

Heading to the Trestle Inn area next week for trout and Walleyes.

BRING THOSE FATTIES HOME!  Don't know if you filleted them or what Nate, but if you get more leave the skin on so we can smoke some of those bad boys.  Yum-yum!
