Smallies on LOW

[rodsbyengel]

What's the best guess from you smallie gurus for when smallies spawn on LOW? Obviously, the answer depends on weather conditions in any given year, but what's the best guess on average?

How long after spawning does it usually take before the smallie fishing gets good again?

Thanks,

Rod

To be honest I have never fished smallies on LOW.. but I go up to Vermillion every Spring, and Ely is not to far south So I would say it would be within a week if not the same time. Generally the smallies spawn as early as that last week of may, and those first 2 weeks of june...small mouth will usually spawn before the laries.

I may be wrong on this but water temp need to be above 60 degrees for them to spawn dont it?

For the past 16 years we have targetted smallies on LOW, out of Sioux Narrows. We stay at a resort in Regina bay. However we make the run each day upto Yellow Girl or down to lower Whitefish. The best fishing has consistantly been the 2nd or 3rd weeks of June. Depending on which area you target you can find fish on the beds in one area of this lake or off the beds and in post spawn in another area, all in the same day... The top water bite is great, as is the shallow water walleye bite, we are talking 2 to 4 feet for the walleyes. You can also run down to the end of Lobstick bay and target a fairly strong population of large mouth.

We have a place up at the NW angle and the spawn seems top spread out oover several weeks. The fishing really is good any time after june 1st all through the summer. Best time is really the 2nd or 3rd week though.
