Fishing Tulibee

[HunterFisher11]

Ok wanted to try fishing Tulibee icefishing but just have run out of time, my question is it possible to fish them in the summer? And the best way to do it? Thanks!!!!

I've never herd of any tullibee being caught from open water. Doesn't mean it's not possible but I'm not going to say you can go out and slay em. Hopefully others chime in and answer you question with certainty.

I'very never heard of anyone getting into them.  But I do see them cutting the surface early morning or evening.  Might be able to get a few on a fly rod.

Well I was thinking that they would be pretty easy to fish for, being that they go deep so would be pretty easy to find, was thinking you could just sit over the top of them and load up a jig or spoon and use a flot.

They eat little bitty stuff.   But them and whitefish should be catchable in summer.  They are eating after all.

I have caught them on Vermilion when the mayflies are hatching in the evening by using a fly rod with small poppers or may fly type dry flies. Just cast to the surfacing fish.

A spinning rod with an Adjusta Float with poppers or flies may work even better.

I caught a whitefish once in the summer. Hammered a mepps spinner while I was fishing for bass. On calm evenings, I see them surfacing. But yeah, flyfishing would be the way to go. Finding schools of them is harder than you'd think. Also, getting such tiny baits down there would be difficult also. Al Lindner did a show a couple years ago on fishing for whitefish in the summer time. Was pretty interesting.
