They do spawn well but there is also not much prey fish available, so they are stunting. In this tournament, the big fish went 3 ish pounds. Nobody really found any fish of any size. 6 fish bags were coming in at 5 pounds- so a bunch of 12” fish. It was fun though
That is too bad, it really does show a down turn but in past years the big fish in any tournament there would be 7 or 8 lbs.
For years we kept our 5th wheel down there, caught some nice perch and walleye, especially liked fishing the eyes after dark, then the fishery started going down hill size wise, same thing happened years ago when they went thru a cycle. Since the Dollar Ridge fire we havent fished it.
