Little King,
I spoke with you about Fletcher's Pond in January. I appreciate all th info! I'm taking the family there July 15th for a week - not the greatest time for fishing I know, but have to go when the kids are out of school. Good to hear you guys did well. We're really looking forward to it. I'll let you know how we do. I may try to go back in September if all goes well.

Thanks!

 

[littleking]

discgolfer and i are making the journey north june 3-10. cant wait. those pics wet my appietite. its really is a fine fishery. seems i've read, all bass are catch'n release this season and theyre having some invader type milfoil weed problems. 5-6 pd bass are in there for sure, but id say 2-3's "are extremely common". small mouth are a bonus fish, seek out the ol' RR tracks. we release everything we catch, after a quik photo, if worthy. take lots of plastic worms after this trip, coming back to our local pools, depression sets in might have to seek out new place after all this advertising...

is anyone going up june 3-10? we will be @ jackslanding. last trailer on the point bend. look us up.

in the summer be ready to clean your lure after each cast. This milfoil or whatever pretty thick by then. They introduced those worms which suppose to eat it, but it may take some time.

make sure to have so night crawlers, too!

Eric - how much they pay you for advertising fletcher? It seems to me that this year at least 50 people will go there only because of you. Heck, there was 15 of us this there already this year!

Are you sure that all the bass are catch and release???? I don't eat bass so it doesn't matter to me, but I read that they are having a bass tournament on Fletchers in August.

leckig,

What were you catching on the nightcrawlers???? I usually don't use them for bass because the panfish at my local spots tear them up before the bass can even get to them.

On your way up or a side trip while at Fletchers, try some fishing in the AuSable river where you crossed it on 65(the new bridge). That is called Cooke Pond it is loaded with Small Mouth, Pike and Walleye with panfish of every type. No one fishes the water other than through the ice, but it is exceptional. This is some of the water, the impoundment is 1,970 acres without a single cabin or house on its shores. The ramp is right off 65 on the North east side of the bridge.

i thought i read it here a few weeks ago. its been updated as of yesterday though...

the wording was kinda vague but i thought i read that and that dnr would be conducting catch surveys.... we had a on the water survey last year.

They introduced those worms which suppose to eat it

actually they are some kind of weevil and they love this eurasian milfoil over other milfoil... seems they burrow right into the stem of the plant and lay eggs and do what bugs do best... eat,fart,kill plants,mate go thru thier bug stages and the like...

 

[littleking]

wow, ill have to check that lake out, looks nice!

 

[bill_gfish]

Going june 8-11, Have been going there for about 15 yrs I think. We stay at Lyons landing, good people. Don't forget your top water baits when ya go, a favorite of mine.

 

[discgolfer]

I refuse to post in this thread due to the overexposure of my yearly vacation spot that already exists. Every freakin vehicle at Jacks Landing has ohio plates.

Well, that was very very strange. Friday nigh each case with a NC would produce very nice (I mean very nice!) perch or a big crappie. It was very difficult to set the hook, so we managed to harvest maybe 10 fish out of easily 50-80 bad hook sets.

The next day, the same spot would produce bluegills, and not very big! But the most surprising was when I set up my bottom fishing gear for a catfish - I baited it with NC as well, set up the carping alarm and in 30 minutes got two... LM Bass, one 13" and one 15".

I think people do not appreciate NC's here enough, I never go fishing without them.

 

[Jackfish]

Glad you guys had a good trip - I really do have to try that lake out sometime - just have to get one of the hall passes from the wife 1st

 

[ch23119]

I am going to go there july 29-august 4.. any other advice for that time frame as far as baits or spots? I appreciate all the info I see here and it sounds like a great lake.

You are going to want to try Thunder Bay for Walleye while you are at Fletchers it is an emerging walleye power in the state. They have been stocking very heavy. The Thunder river is what flows out of Fletcher at the dam. Just look into it.

 

[littleking]

i dont have a boat big enough to go out on huron

 

[Weekender#1]

The Walleye action is in the bay and river not out in the lake. Just ask a local or visit the bait stores in Apena, for updated action report.
The State record Bluegill came out of Vaughn lake near Glennie, if you like pan fish. It is right out of the city of Glennie.

 

[littleking]

cool, maybe this fall i'll take a week off and fish the surrounding lakes as well
