I’m spending a few days with a friend at the end of June in Litchfield “ covid 19 pending, lol”. He’s a walleye guy and I’m a bass guy. Was looking at hitting up lake Washington for some Smallies/largemouth. I’m guessing it will be late post spawn early summer transition. Any help on locating some good fish? Smallies especially? I appreciate the help.

Welcome to HSO I fish Stella the most depending on the size of your boat you can go under the culvert from Washington. I would target the weed edges for bass the smallies tend to be a little deeper there are a few rock piles on Washington. Wacky worms have done the best for me and pink paddle tails on jigs for the smallies.

Mrpike I appreciate the help. I was thinking that mid lake hump could possibly be good. Rocks in that area??  My buddy has a lund and I may bring my fishing kayak possibly so I could get to Stella that way.

Yes you are correct there is a mid lake hump on Washington that can be good has some rubble please note though it gets really pounded not saying you cant get anything but think outside the box with lures. Your very welcome hope you enjoy your trip.

Sounds like the lake has a lot of milfoil from what I’ve read is that correct?? Decent water clarity?? I’m guessing some of those underwater points with weed near  deeper water should be good.

The lake is almost void of Milfoil it has been sprayed several times in past years. The fish are roamers. Washington is fairly turbid water. It is not very clear that is for sure.

      Cuz like I said, he was breaking off a lot and they were like gold at the time.  Guys an't giving up anything when combat fishing, I'm sure he pissed off some folks running around jumping in and out of open holes. 😉

      🤔why didnt ya "leech" some of them black flies from the guy!!!!!🤗😂   awe come on....wanderer would of said it too!!!!😉
    • leech~~
      Au, yes the black fly, aka the looper bug.  I remember the first time I was introduced to it.  There must have been 20-30 guys out in front of the French on the ice. This once guy was running from hole to hole and pulling fish, but he was also breaking off a lot.  When I finally got close to him, he said he had 2lb line and just the bug on the end and jigging.  I think I had about 6lb line and some jig with waxies.  I jumped in my Suv and buzzed up to the bait store in Two harbors "which is closed now" to get new line and bugs.  By the time I got back and fishing again the bite must have been over!  Spent the rest of the day laying on the ice staring down the hole, ton's of fish went by but not bite!! ☹️    I used to get up at like 3:00am to drive up from Brooklyn Center, fish until dark and drive home.  When I had more of the wander spirit.  Heck I remember when I had no brains or money in the spring, getting up at like 2:30am, driving up and fishing every stream for about an hour that I could get to from Duluth to Grand Maris.  Then driving all the way home the same day.  🤪

      Last day of myself hunting before I help my friend with new clients. Back on the bigger marsh, mainly teal but 5 fulvous whistling ducks. A medium size duck but they fly and decoy like Canada geese, big circles and glide in. They are noisey birds

      Kettle, sounds like an awesome trip. Never see drake bluewings in MN during the season. For the bridge my pucker factor would've been 11, and that's walking across both ways!!

      Gotta love META, right????  Naw, they ain’t tracking’…

      I did the looper steelhead thing in front of the French River once.  It was fun. I got one looper but the sight fishing aspect of it was the most fun.   We saw a couple guys limit on steelhead up close to shore and learned the black fly was the way to catch ‘em.  We didn’t have any.   My first 40+ hour day that I can remember.  Went to work Friday morning, Van Halen concert Friday night, too jacked up on the way home to call it a day so we loaded up for the North Shore.  Fished all day, drove home Saturday night.     Those crazy kids…   Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands have always been a want but an undone deed.  The wander spirit has faded from my old traveling buds.  They like to stick to what they know now.

      Oh, he knows…. 😉

      About 20" of ice in Black Bay., although that's just based on how far my auger went before breaking through.

      I would love get the cohos through the ice.
