Lac St. Anne Fishing walleye are ON

[D4l3k]

Headed out this morning and on the water by 8:15ish
the walleye were on hard between 8:30 and 10:30
10-12 ft of water

about 250y-300y from shore in front of Ross Haven Bible Camp (west of yellowstone boat launch)

we landed 28 class B size range into the boat, and 1 above class B size range between the 3 of us

also 1 decent jack that hit like a run away train

we filled all our class B's in no time and had a great morning on the water with lots of action, double headers and great times

orange jig heads tipped with a minnow was hitting the best for us

for all you lac st anne tag holders, get out that and fill them tags!

does anyone actually spread their tags out over the season?, if you get 2 or 3 tags, and the fish are on, do you fill all your tags in an hour, then wait a year or more for another season???

I like to fill them right away. In the unlikely event you don't make it back out to that lake again....

I'm with you. Not a fan of frozen fish and my wife and I couldn't possibly eat 6 in a meal.
It's nice to fill a couple each time out as long as the water is cool. Wouldn't keep any in July/August.

I guess if you have multiple people with tags it makes sense. If you are by yourself I would just take them when you can before the algae bloom.

I use mine spring ,fall and ice never in summer when water warms I stop keeping.
If i run out tthere's always lakes where you don't need tags.

Was out on Sunday with the family and didn't buy my tags yet so they all went back. I don't think we caught more than 1 under 50cm out of 10. Nice to see them finally growing as I thought they were going to be stunted a couple of years ago.
Going to be interesting when it comes time to keep a few under 50cm.

I don't freeze fish as a habit, haven't for many years.
If the wife wants me to bring one home when I head out, i will, makes things simple.
I have tags for "our " lake this year ( Baptiste), and will likely spread them out over the summer and fall....
