Sylvia (old Twin & Sylvia) Bass


Recommended Posts

My cousin is coming the first weekend in June and wants to go bass fishing. Just curious if the bass are found along the deep weed edges, docks or are up shallow this time of year? I'm not much of a bass fisherman although my username says basscatcher (it's just a cb handle my grandpa gave me years ago for catching smallies on Rainy Lake).

At any rate, any suggestions on what type of structure and depth to hit and what type of lures to use would be greatly appreciated.

A friend of mine had a place, out there if you go like you are driving on to the lake from the access, take a left in to that little hole,channel. There is a big brown house(tall)and a deck, with all fenced(chainlink)in yard the boat in there at that time of year, my G--, you could not even sit on the dock or try to shore fish or they would have hooked you. I dont know why they didn't park and ask to use her dock, has you could walk from the boat to the dock with out missing a beat. Some of the bass were really nice, most everything i seen caught was C&R. Good luck.Lynn

my grandmother had a cabin on that lake i spent almost every summer there till i was 14yo i do try to fish there as often as time permits the one thing i can tell you is be prepared for CLEAR water the lake is clean clean clean

for the most part spring fed

i was out there this past ice season about 4 weeks before ice out and it is remarkable the clairity like looking thru a clean window

i had the camera down and you could see for a long ways out

good luck fishing there and please check your trailer before putting in for any weeds or debries

I hear ya. That is a pristine lake with very clear/clean water. It's one of my more favorite sunfish lakes. I always check my rig for weeds when I pull out of the water, no matter what lake it is. It's also good to take the rig in for a quick wash when getting back to town too because you can't always see all the small weeds on your rig.

Thanks for the info. Wherever we fish for bass, it will be C&R only. I like Sylvia because not only does it have bass, but as I mentioned above, it has some nice sunnies in it too. Can go out and catch bass, then get some sunnies to take home for a meal.

Thanks for the replies!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
