About 1 week until the Nest trip, any suggestions?


Recommended Posts

Well we'll be headed to Nest on Fathers day weekend. I'm really pumped for a week of relaxation. I have a few last minute questions.

What stage are the fish in?
Any idea of the water temperature?
How clear is the lake and what line size would you recommend?
I assume the lake level is back up to normal?
Any bait recommendations for bass, walleye and panfish?
Can you navigate from Nest to Green by boat?
Any other beneficial information?

Thanks a bunch

GRR....
Nest Lake water level seems to be about normal to me! weeds are starting to develop in the bays....I don't know what the temp is frown.gif
To answer one of your questions is NO you can't navigate from Nest to Green shocked.gif all there is a spill way going into green with a big drop!

I plan on fishing it next week so I can give you a better report then. Maybe someone else has a fishing report from Nest!

What resort are you staying at?

Thanks for all the info. We'll be staying at the Willow Bay Resort. I hoping I can buy a map of the lake in the area. If you know a place I can buy one let me know. I hope the water warm. Kids will be bummed if it's too cold for swimming.


Thanks Again

GRR--

Check out Jim W's post on Green lake smallies. There is some great info there on the bite which will apply to Nest. I had a great night with the smallies on Nest a week ago Thursday. We boated 13 between 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 pounds (all realesed of course). The fish were on the rocks in 6'-9' of water. The walleye were hitting on the lake also. Saw a lot of boats on the SW side of the last island to the west. What resort are you staying at? You may want to call and inquire on any damage that may have happened due to the tornado/winds that hit the area. I know some of the Nest resorts were affected. Good luck fishing!!!!

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Great news, thank Skunked  
    • jim curlee
      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.
    • PSU
      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Thanks for the heads up. Cigar.

      The price will blow your mind if they get some

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
    • SkunkedAgain
      I hope to see it and believe it next week! Nice looking crappie
