Washburn County Walleyes

[Buckslayer]

Hey all,

Hoping someone can help me out here. We have a place on a small lake north of Spooner, and am looking for some decent walleye lakes. I've grown up fishing Mille Lacs, Winny, Leech, etc. and have had great success, but I am struggling big time over here in northern Sconi. I pull a lot of spinners and lindys drifting or back trolling, but most of those lakes are sandy, gravel, or rocks, with minimal weeds. I come over here and it seems like the only eyes I get are crappie fishing in the weeds. I've fished Shell, McKenzie, the Trego flowage, etc. and only had minimal success. I guess what I'm wondering is if there are some actaul lakes that are kind of "walleye lakes" and what the general tactics are. I dont need anyone to put a fish on my hook, but atleast give me a little direction. I hear people talk a lot about the Minond Flowage. Is that any good? I appreciate any tips or leads anyone has for me.

Thanks!

Minong Flowage can be good, as can a lot of lakes in your area, but for me, Yellow Lake near Webster is as good a walleye lake as you're likely to find in that part of the state.

Check out the thread on this lake:
