Title: How did opening weekend treat you?
Post by: Ashnohgrimbatul on May 17, 2004, 09:53 PM
I found the fishing very slow.  I only caught 1 perch and 1 jack in two days on the Winnipeg River.  Went into George Lake today and did pretty good, a few trout, a few jacks, a few whitefish and a bass.

Lockport was good. Big Whiteshell was really slow, but we managed some fish anyways.

I was disapointed with the Assiniboine river at Portage.

On saturday all I managed to catch was a sucker fish. It was sad. The water is very low for this time of the year.

On sunday I went out on the Portage Diversion and caught 10 northerns each ranging 5-10lbs. nothing huge but sure felt good to reel in a fish.

I do hope that the fishing will pick up and the weather will make a big diffrence if it keeps climing this week. Will have a fun filled May long.

Tight lines!!

As you heard from Grumpy Moe we did some Laker fishing and caught 4.  Tough fishing though and the water was extremely cold - 37 degrees.  This past Thursday I was out for Walleyes at crooked rapids on Lac Seul (nera Sioux Lookout ON.  Water was still very cold - 47 degrees - we caught 3 keepers below slot (18 to 21") and several over with biggest at 23".  Walleyes still don't seem to be too terribly active yet.
