I’ve fished it every year for the past 15 years during mid-late sept. Generally the numbers come from jigs, but we catch our bigger fish with lead core or deep diving raps. Lindys and spinner will put some fish in the boat too, but generally we do best with jigs.

The last few years Despair had been pretty slow for us so we did almost all of our fishing up in Jackfish, however the owner of the cabin we stay at has said they’ve been catching a lot of walleyes on Despair this summer.

When are you going?

ou could use the dog cage and buy some 3/4″ to 1″ Galvanized Mesh cut sheets for each side of the dog cage and use Zip ties to attach. quick and easy, would still fold flat and keep fish in and predators out.
Pretty cheap and transportable

This is exactly what I helped a friend do. Used the dog crate for the most part and added mesh where we thought they may get through. Also, he added wheels as where he cleans fish is up a hill and a little ways a way. Pretty slick!

Looks like a blast! I will be up this weekend and curious what speed you were running and also wondering if you were finding the fish on top of the flats or off of them?

Thanks!
