Mayflies have hatched, some reports of down rigging starting. hammered gold the hot color still tipped with crawlers, leeches, or minnows. Northern pike in 6-8 feet along South Shore. Trolling with cranks most popular, good numbers on little river rockers and shad raps.

Up at the NW Angle, fish the rocks on the MN side. Crow Duck. Four Blocks and Little Oak area still holding good fish. On the Canadian side, fish deeper current areas, 25' and deeper. Good reports at Little Traverse Jig and minnow has been to go to method. Bass fishing has continued to be productive along the boulder shorelines.
