Temperatures here at camp have been in the 80’s and 90s Fahrenheit with little break since camp opened on May 18. This record-breaking heat has predictably slowed the bite on the walleye and northern. While there have still been plenty of fish caught for eating, this challenging weather had a few of our guests targeting other types of fish. This week these white fish were caught while guests were deep-water jigging for lake trout. These measured around 23 inches long, but the local Red Lake talk is that there are significantly larger white fish in the lake.
Today, a few storms and rain have come through, thankfully bringing cooler temperatures. Guests who were out fishing during it, said that everything changed, and the fish started biting again immediately.
Has the Lake Trout fishing been reopened on Red Lake?
Lake Trout fishing is catch and release only at the present time.
