Prime time for serious fishermen. The fish are in shallow bays and rivers during May, cool weather is not unusual so dress accordingly. Late May to mid-June brings bugs; however, light colored clothing and bug spray helps overcome this. Due to our Island location, the black flies are not a problem at camp. Plan your shore lunches on windy points. Notice sheltered bays for moose with young at this time of year. July and August: Walleyes are found on rocky shoals, sandbars, and around islands in 8 - 10 feet of water. Northern Pike are found off bullrush beds, especially watch for the leafy pike weeds that just break the surface of the water - stop and fish them. Summer Pike fishing on Lady Evelyn is fun. Early July
usually brings out a hatch of Mayflies. They don't bite, but they sure bring the Walleyes
and the Whitefish to the surface. A good time to use a fly rod. Smallmouth Bass fishing is exceptional from opening through fall, live bait or artificial work equally well. Late July to September Time for BIG Northerns, weather is generally mild, but a north wind can bring cool temperatures after mid-August. September 15th signals Fall fishing, warm days and cold nights. BIG Walleye, Bass, and Pike are common. Location
