Minocqua Area Fishing Report  06/14/10
   
Rain and cool weather prevailed this past week. The cool has held the mayfly hatches at bay on most bodies of water, but there is eveidence they are getting ready to pop soon (watch Squirrel). The Willow Flowage started Thursday, but havn't gotten other reports.
 
Northern Pike: Very Good. Seem to be responding to cool temps. Nice fish of 24-28" with a 38" caught and released Saturday. With Pike active a variety of lures working. Spinnerbaits (Boonie Baits) #3 and #4 Mepps, Chatterbaits, X-Raps and Rattle Traps worked across the weed tops. Jig and Chubs also working well. Pike could be taking up in weeds because Walleyes (in some cases) have left.
 
Largemouth Bass: Good. Not chasing much, but taking spinnerbaits, flat raps. Punching pockets with senkos and jig-pig combos. Lots of action with good fish to 20" not out of the question.
 
Walleye: Fair-Good. Work flats outside weed beds of 10-14'. Red tailed chubs leeches best. Overcast skies making for good day bite. Cold mornings slowing early bit, work slow, watch for signs of Hex hatch (Mayfly), if visible, find another lake.
 
Smallmouth Bass: Fair. Cool weather hurt bite. Better with tubes, plastic crawlers. Search first breaks in 12-18'. Try jig and craw combos.
 
Yellow Perch: Fair. Nice perch (8-9") scattered in weeds. Thunderbugs, medium leech, medum fats in 6-8' weeds.
 
Bluegill: Fair. Waiting for warmer weather. Leafworms, Thunderbugs under small floats. Fish 8-12', warmer weather will bring this species back in.
 
Muskie: Fair. Nice weather just not a lot of reports. Bucktails, 7" twitch baits moving most fish.
 
Crappies: Fair. Few reports.
 
Rain and wind kept anglers off water. Some very nice catches made but not always easy (high wind). Surface temps averaging 62-64 degrees (down from highs of 74-75 degrees two weeks ago.
