It’s back on folks.
Last week, Pasha Lake Cabins guests had the fishing experience of a life time. One group caught 200-plus walleyes and had a whole whack of fun.
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times – Pasha Lake walleye fishing is simply the best anyone has ever experienced. With average walleyes of 18 to 22 inches, who could argue with that?
As promised, on the Walleye Dream Trip I showcased B Fish and Tackles Moxi Ringles and Pulse R’s. It was pretty much a no-brainer. The fish went wild over the baits’ action and life-like profiles. Rigging my baits on 1/4-oz. bright jigs, I had a hard time keeping the walleyes off my line. Color didn’t matter, but despite the muddy waters, I felt natural colors worked best. I did find that you need to swim the bait in order to trigger a strike.
Using the real deal allowed the inexperience people, especially the kids, more room for error and more action.
With all the Lake Nipgion action, let’s not forget the inland lakes! For a second, I thought we were back in the middle of June with all the walleyes landed by the Dan Larsen crew from Rochester, MN. Not surprising, Onaman was the producer of their biggest fish, with Dan personally catching a gorgeous 27-inch walleye on jig and minnow. In one of our other hot lakes, they landed more than 180 walleye. And that wasn’t even during the Walleye Dream Trip, which they did on Friday.
Who said Canada fishing isn’t for the whole family? Bill Mueller from Michigan was able to sneak away from his storage business in Michigan and treat his family to two wonderful days on Lake Nipigon. In fact, they were so floored by the Walleye Dream Trip, they asked me to take them there two days in a row.
An avid Michigan trout fisherman who has often fished saltwater and has been to Alaska, Bill told me on multiple occasion that this was the most amazing fishing he (and his family) has experienced.
Bear update: The bear season opens on Wednesday and I’m pumped about all the activity on the baits. It appears we’ve been able to pull some bears out of the berry patches and keep them coming to our feeding sites. It probably helps that we are putting out 80 to 100 pounds of food at each location. Our trail cameras are capturing all the action, 24/7, seven days a week. There are some dandies coming in. Keep checking back at our website, as I’ll be posting season highlights and happenings as things unfold.
This week in camp we have the veterans from Living Word Christian Church in Brooklyn Park, MN. Also with us this week is long-time guest and hockey legend Mike Sertich, the former UMD Hockey coach. Bear hunters start filtering in Tuesday, so buckle in and check back often!
Until next time….
