hi all,U2 john&lynn "o) I am heading up to Insula for a week june 8th and could use any tips on where to fish this lake.It looks like an overabundance of islands will create alot of structure areas.Anybody have any specific spots that have worked well? any special colors on this lake?Any recommended day trips from here to alice or others? I dont get much time off so want to make the most of this trip.Also i have a couple BWCAW newbies coming along and would like them to have a great time.Thanks all and see you soon in the wilds!!!!!!!!!!!

I have spent some time on insula, and it is a great lake to fish for 'eyes. If you troll the bays and points, you should do pretty good. We have also found that lake four, fire lake, and hudson are great producers. I like to use jigs and leeches, or troll with a perch colored Wally Diver. Have had some success on the south side, but much better success on the north and east sides. Fish the windswept bays when the sun is shining on them. I, too will be up on Insula from June 7 to the 15th or so. Looking forward to a great trip and some great fishing. Have a great trip, and maybe see you up there!

Monkeyman, my brother and I would also like to go to insula 7-15th, but they are out of permits. Is it possible we could share your permit... you may email me at [email protected]
thank you in advance for your reply...
don't feel obligated, we're just crossing our fingers we'll find a permit.

Hi Monkeyman, pardon me for barging in. You mentioned that you're going to insula mem weekend and in early June. Do you know of any way I can secure a permit, besides through Reserve America. I need an entry permit for anytime between 6/5 and 6/15 and they're completely out.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Went in this weekend for the opener, and had limited success on Insula. The water is just too cold yet. We did do pretty good on Hudson, though. Fished the shallow bays with white glow jigs and minnows. Since I only live about 30-40 minutes away, I will be back out Memorial weekend and early june, hopefully when the water warms up and the 'eyes really turn on. Have a good trip, maybe I'll see you up there. I'll look for the camo canoe and the fedora.

TileGuy!

John had a blast on Insula last fall. Make sure you stop by and talk to John about some spots.

Some nice campsites out there too.

That Saturday may be a busy day, but I'm sure that unless John is swamped he wouldn't mind 'sharing' some areas. :-)

      Question for this knowledgeable group   I've noticed over the past two weeks at the lake that in certain areas there seems to be a ton of black "duck-like" floaters that seem to congregate by tons and stir up the water and then move to another area close by, stir up the water again and move again. I've seen them recently in Greenwood Bay and around Fectos.   Are these cormorants? Are they stirring up the water by fishing?   Thanks

      Followed the advice I posted, slip bobbers w rainbows and crawlers in big bay on a dozen humps topping out at 6 to 12'. Caught a few smalles and a couple 12" walleyes. So not very successful but maybe didn't hit the right humps or lake was too calm or wrong time of day - 7:30 11 am. That's why they call it fishin'

      I may have to take you up on that. I've been moving for a month and don't even have my boat in the lake yet!

      Walleye Report:  Just spent a week on the lake (East end).  The fishing was as hot as the weather with many, many 14-25" walleyes.   Surface Temps: Consistently 70-72 with the recent hot weather.  Swimming was comfortable the past three days.  Depths:  All caught in less than 10 FOW Techniques: Lures - Plastics and jerkbaits.  We bought two dozen leeches but never opened them.  I do regret not watching a bobber dip below the surface.   Tactics: Cast and retrieve lures in sandy bays, over main lake/secondary rocky points, across rocky flats, between sandy flats, and throughout silt/mud bays with shallow weeds.  A little wind and clouds helped but was not always necessary.  And we had lots of random fish.    Advice:  Get out there and fish.  These patterns should hold for the next week-two.  The fish are aggressively feeding in the shallows where they are finding crawfish, shiners, etc.  A fast moving bait is getting hammered.  I literally can't tell you how many times I saw fish INHALE our presentations at the boat.   The population is healthy.  Catch and keep a few and let a bunch of them go.     Good luck.

      Excellent report with Q&A video of Vermilion fishing over Memorial day weekend on the Everett Bay Lodge Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0P6R367DVCXxuZN9LQmZo3ptHADXTbR7NewV2P4W8BouagdzmZ56RpSC6SP2KTjNhl&id=100031660668169&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f Good timely advice on walleyes
    • leech~~
