Default Pigeon walleye

Me and my buddy Rick (king of the roll cast) hit pigeon last sat and caught a few eyes, by a few I mean Rick caught 18 and I caught 21 in 3 hrs. Lots of action but nothing big. Not sure where the biggens hang out. here are a few pics.

We were there on Friday for the first time and it is a great place for the kids as the action was non stop. The fish in the pics look just like the size we caugth and the couple i weighed were right at the 2 pound mark. Nice lake but the boat launch sucks for such a busy lake.

Good pics. Those are the usual size me and my kids have been pulling out in the past month... we have little cabin in Mulhurst and we head out every weekend. I have to say... this lake is great for kids. I take mine out (5yr & 7yr old) in my little 12 ft aluminum, hook them up with pickerel rigs (casting is still a bit dangerous!) and let them go at it. I have no time to fish myslef... all I do is re-set hooks and release the fish. Two saturdays ago my daughter caught 12 in one hour. Best action i have seen for wallys this year is the point at end of silver beach.

Tonight we are heading out again... but this time i am bringing my 9wt fly rod to fish the shallows and weed beds around pelican island and the near shore. Hopefully get some pike on the fly ... good good fun (most fun way to fish for pike btw).

But yes... that boat launch needs just a bit of work.

Right out in front of the boat launch at the Provincial park you will see all the boats lined up fishing. There is a drop off there and we were catching fish in about 18 feet of water you cant miss if you try there.
