The portage lakes have been doing great with Bear trap, North and Crooked being the best. Patrick Baxter and his daughter and son did amazing on North. They caught several 27", 2 28" and a 29" walleye plus a load of others all in the same day and regularly had big catches of walleye on any portage lake they went to. They also had big catches of trout jigging off "Hawaii". Michael Gremillions group also loves portaging and did real well wherever they went. Many 20+ in fish were taken with 27" being the biggest. Shane Laplante from Montana was here for 4 days and his daughter Heather caught a huge 32" trout trolling and they got a bunch of other trout trolling. If you have downriggers or dipsy divers you will catch a ton of trout and they are just starting to stack up on some points. Water temp is in the hi 70s and it's the hottest it's been all summer this weekend. Some 30-35" northern were caught in the last few days and the walleye are wherever water is coming in.
