Jeff, my annual pilgrimage is for smallmouth; however, a few days or parts thereof are always spent hunting trophy pike, and when you get into a bay of walleys that are eating small diving cranks it is hard to give that up just to find more bass.

Smallmouth are abundant, 17-20 inches, some bigger, a few smaller. Most are real pigs. It can be hard to catch a smallmouth small enough to keep (legal keep is 13.75 inches). We have just about gone 100% catch/release on the bass since we found out that when one keeps the smaller pike, fillet and fry them fish and chips style, you can't tell them from bass or walleye, they are that good.

First 2 weeks of June, back in time for father's day. The place is accessible by boat and plane, 15 miles from the end of the road. Great accomodations. PM me if you want details. Would love to show you around.
