    There is a lake in Canada that I fish regularly and this year on three separate trips there and fishing several days each time. I couldn’t catch a walleye over 15 inches. I didn’t get any big northerns either. The background on this lake is that I have fished it for 7 years and caught many 25″ walleyes and several Northerns over 36″. This last year the beaver put up a dam and raised the water level two feet or more. That dam washed out this spring before we got up to the cabin this spring. the lake has a marginal at best creek adding io the lake from a lake above this one. There are several beaver dams to cross when we drag aboat up the creek to fish the lake above us. below our lake is basically a waterfall and there is no way a fish could swim upstream to our lake. I fished this lake in early June for a week and july for a week and I just returned from a week and its still the same. All the fish I caught seemed to be too young to spawn. What are the thoughts out there? The lake is about 100 feet deep and I did check from 5 to 30 feet deep with shad raps and lindy rigs and jig and minnows.

    Fish have tails, no mortgages… So anything is possible.
