Ely Lakes update 6-12

[greatoutdoors]

Gary at Silver Rapids Lodge reports good walleye fishing in 12-15 feet of water along shorelines, they are not on the reefs. Surface temp about 69 degrees.

Denny at Smitty's on Snowbank reports surface temp 67 degrees. Walleye fishing good with them being caught in up to 20 feet, but not on the reefs. Bass good for the males, but the females not on the beds yet.

Shagawa Inn Jim says walleye are being caught in 8-10 feet at dusk, not many northern or bass being brought in.

Burntside walleye are being seen in 4-8 feet of water, not interested in biting. Bass not on the beds, water temps fluctuating from 66-72 degrees.

Hi Greatoutdoors,
I sent an email to the address listed in your profile....but thought I would ask here as well.

What about Farm lake??  I am going to be up there this week Thurs through Sun at my Aunt and Uncle's place on that lake.

I would prefer to chase walleyes and smallies but am open to anything.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
John

John,

I'll have a better report tonight than I can give you at this time. Having some pump problems at the shop, but should have the report on by 10.

John,

Farm Lake is doing pretty good for Walleye and Crappie, jigs and leeches working the best. The northern report was vague, at best, but you should do well! (in spite of them dang mayflies)

Thank you for the info....I will probably swing through on Thurs morning and say hi and get a map of the lake and some bait. 
Can't wait to get up there and  ::!!!
