is Volga fishable??

[supserdave]

I was there on wednesday, water was still muddy, but lots of people were fishing.

[trapper1]

What is the status of Volga Lake?? Has anybody been there lately?? Is the water back down any at all?? Thanks

[delmuts]

trapper. i haven't been there since last monday. the gils were going real well along the shore and around the brush piles. i was told they were gettng some crappies out in the lake drifting. you can catch tons of teh little ones from shore., but no size. del

[delmuts]

i was at the lake this morning.the water is down considerable from last week. the docks are above the water now. water is a little colored by not bad. i caught many small crappies, and five bass from shore . not bad for two hours. lots of people fishing. didn't get a chance to talk to anybody in the boats. del

ice john and i fished volga tuesday. we did ok.i caught 7-8 bass( three were 2-3 lbs) . ice john fished for panfish. we caught and released 30+ fish . some were really nice gils. the water is still up, but the other boat dock should be above water in a day or two. the lake is starting to turn green , but you could see a lure about three feet down. del

delmuts,i'm just west of sumner 10 mi. have been here 20 yrs. fished all my life mostly faribault and winnie,have never fished volga lake,is there alot of pressure there? what species? sizes? my friend at work said he got some gills there last weekend,but they were all wormy. is this common over there? apprec. any help,thanks.

[delmuts]

mariner; do you want a fishing partner? i live by the high school in sumner.if this is legal; my full name is delmar mutschler. yes volga gets lots of pressure. the gil fishing has been preety good. and yes some of them do have the worms in them. the crappies have been small. the bass get a lot of pressure , but there are some really nice fish in there!if you fish there make it early morning or late afternoon or evening. many of the boaters show up 8-10 am( there are always some there at day break) then many start leaving about 5-6 in the afternoon.

that sounds great! drove my cycle over there the other nite to check it out,it looked great,very nice ramps,parking,etc. the sign board said something about tiger skies in there? been a long time since i've been to a lake without hearing wailing jet skies!

[delmuts]

yep they stocked muskies in there the first year, but only that year. all the times i have fished it, i have yet to see one.i think they went the way of most other eating sized fish !too many people can't read the signs about length limitts. i here reports abot guys seeing one, but nothing you can trust. i was told that one floated to shore last spring, but that is a question too. it is a fun little lake though; and considering that we have nothing else close? del

[delmuts]

we fished the little lake sat night. we only bass fished, so not much to report about panfish other than they sure liked our tubes and senkos!!! the N.W. bay was dirty. the whole lake has a green tint to it with clumps of gunk floating some . we used tubes, hula poppers, black and blue jigs, senkos, and a buzz bait. we caught 11 or 12 between myself and my son. a few little ones; serveral 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. a couple around 3, and two that were 4 +. del

[delmuts]

my son and i fished the little lake last night and did real well. we mainly tossed a buzz bait and a black and blue jig. we did try a slugo and a hula popper, but no takers. we caught 20 fish.( a few ;ittle ones) , but three that would push 4 lbs; alex caught one that was an easy 5, a couple of 3lbs. and several 1- 2 lbs. del

fished the lake sun morning. most of this season it has been hit or miss. a week ago a guy was really catching the crappies. ( 6-9 in range) on minnows. this morning the crappie bite was slow with most coming on a char. tube jig. the bass bite from shore has been tough. mostly due to fising pressure. any thing with any size has been taken out. out on the lake it has been some what slow . i think poss. cause of the weather changes. the lakw as getting green, but the cool nights have cleared it up some. del

[delmuts]

fished volga last night for a little while. fishing was slow. one guy caught a few gils, no crappies and even the bass fishing was slow. talked to two guys that said last tues they did well on crappies with minnows, but not last night. as always the lake is in the on and off mode. del

[delmuts]

fished the lake tonight for a couple of hours. only bass fished. caught 6 on a black and blue rattle jig. ( biggest was 2 1/2) caught one littel one on a finese worm. lake is green. water temp ranged fro 68.6 to 71.8. del

[delmuts]

9-30 went to the lake for awhile this morning. i caught 12-15 bluegils and war mouths, and one bass of about 1 1/2 lbs. talked to some of the people in boats. they have been doing well on blue gils and a few perch by drifting.lake is still on the green side but getting better. del

[delmuts]

fished the lake 10-2. we dift fished for gils. did fairly well. most fish were picked up in the 10 to 13 ft. range. we tried part of a crawler, wax worms and red worms. the waxies were the hot bait . we caught numerous gils,and some perch. no crappies. del

[delmuts]

fished the lake today. again did well on gils and small perch. no crappies. talked to one guy that had been catching some.( but this guy is extremely good!) del
