Default Watch your camp

If that's Peerless Lake up by Red Earth don't leave your camp unattended while you're fishing and sleep with one eye open. A buddy used to go up their every May long until the locals and we won't mention race due to political correctness came one night on quads and stole the fish finder,rods and most of the tackle.Quad tracks led right to the house down the road.Reported to the police and all he got was ,"they're like that up here"! Or bring a protective dog.Harold

I have only fished Peerless once with little luck, talking to other fisherman there its hit or miss (mostly miss). Graham lake is excellent for Walleye, the boat launch is good and the campground is more open with more people, I have only had issues once in 10 visits while at that campground. Vandersteen is only a quad-in lake. I stopped going in there when they took away the Walleye limit, it was full of large walleye but no small ones. Long Lake takes a good 4X4 to get into or a quad (I use a quad) . It has decent walleye but they do not get as big as in Graham. I would plan to fish Graham as the main lake and do a side trip to Peerless.
