Roy Lake Resort is an excellent place.

Late April - late May walleyes seem concetrated in an inlet bay and the outlet bay, both on the west side of the lake. There is a slow period in early June as walleye transition to summer locations, deep points, bars and humps in the main lake where the bite is best early and late in the day. Undoubtedly, the best walleye fishing is Sept. and Oct., a night time bite in shallow and deep bite during the day. Small mouth fishing from mid June - early July is excellent on rock humps, points and shorelines..... these are post spawn fish. late May and early June spawning fish are more dispersed. the fall smallmouth bite is outstanding on deep rocks.

Nearby kettle - cattail is a very good walleye lake with some large pike (fish trees and windward shorelines). Buffalo is good for numbers of eating size walleye. And your within 25 minutes or so of Waubay, Lynn and other excellent lakes.

We did awesome last June for smallies. Some really nice ones with the biggest just shy of 5 pounds. We fished rocky humps, islands, rocky shorelines and docks. Fished with a 1/16 oz jig and 2" powerbait twisters on 4 lb line. It was a riot with the occasional walleye and northern.
