Eye Guy, 31 years of tradition...
Also, The Eye fishing in some of the area lakes matches up well to White Otter. Are you staying at Brown's?

SCAT, we actually launch right on White Otter (it's a few miles off the beaten path to the landing)and camp on an island south of the Castle.

Eye Guy, first day back from Clearwater.
Brookie fishing was fantastic, Biggest was over 6lbs, several b/n 3 and 5lbs. Walleye fishing was very good with a 21 to 26 average, no Hogs this year and Lake trout were tough. I have been to the landing, {Last Sat} Nice road! Hope you have a great time!

Scat, our trip got moved back until this Fri.(19th), the guy that sets everything up had a choice of divorce or staying home for his daughters graduation party. Anyway, what are the water temps (above or below average?) Are the eye's in there usuall haunts or were they tough to find?
jlt, who do you work for in the BIG city of Mora, I know quite a few people over there.

We caught the majority of our eyes on orange jigs, 1/16 oz, tipped with leeches. Also, caught a few on crawlers. No lure was hot for lakers, but 3/4 oz hammered gold Pixie spoon put more in the boat than any other with # 38 Sutton hammered gold and silver a close second. Brookies bite like Priana after raw meat. Clearwater temps hovered around 50 degrees, warmer when the sun came out and then down into the 40,s after a rain. Dashawa, turtle, and Williamson were in the mid 50's. I ran into a guy while up there that said he once saw 93 vehicles parked along the road to the WO portage. He had to park over 4 miles away from the lake. Also if youe bring crawlers in tell them they have been in artificial bedding for more than 15 days.
Some members of our group had changed the beding, but said only 2 days ago and they were made to a flat of crawlers back on the American site. Also wash your truck before you go. No American Mudd
