Hello,<BR>I am heading to Leech lake for a week of fishing and vacation on July 8. Could someone give me some info as to where the walleyes may be biting??? Thanks in advance!!

Hope for some decent wind and fish the wind blown points. Also don't forget to try the reefs around Pelican. Bouncers on the deep rock and mud flats with crawlers and spinners. Jigs and minnow (rainbows)in the weeds and shallow rocks.<BR>Terry<BR>Terry's Guide Service

Thank you for the information. We will be there for the week and would be great to find some active fish. We will be there with 2 other couples, should be a good time. I usually fish Leech only in the fall and that has been around Pelican Island and Battle Point. Thanks again Terry!

Ode,<BR>Just got back on Sunday from a 12 day stay at Huddles, I can tell you for us the Walleye were slim pickens! We tried a lot of combinations, couldn't come up with any solid winners to pass on. We had exceptionally hot Bluebird skies the entire time! In addition the Hex's(Hexegenia Limbata)Mayflies seem to be the main Diet for the time. Hopefully they will have been compleated on there hatch cycle for you! We thought the night bite would be on! But believe it or not, high noon seemed to be the time that they were on. Fish mostly found on the mud for us! Diamond Point,and Pelican were holding a far amount of fish.Northerns on Jig and Minnows, Walleyes on Crawlers: Tight Lines and Best of Luck!-----T-290

      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!!!!😉

      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!!

      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.

      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.
