Does anyone have any reports on Mallilieu??

Any help??

Havn't fished it in a while, but used to put in, drop the trolling motor, and start right away on the s. shore -- steeper break. Early season might be better up toward the flats where the river comes in.

So ---- this is too late for Fri., but how did you do? It's on my list for this year.

Got out Friday morning at about 5:00am...water was 73'..pretty stained...I started fishing the north shore out from the access and worked my way East. I was throwing some topwater baits and caught a few fish on deeper banks with rocks on them...I then moved to a little hump with rocks on it and caught a 19 1/2 inch smallie on a Sweet Bever in about 6 ft of water. All in all it was an good day, I learned a bit about a new lake that I will probably go back to....

I fished this lake last week for about 3 hours in the afternoon. I'm not very familiar with the lake and have never fished it. I started at the east end of the lake where the river comes in. This area has large expanses of very shallow (2-3') water. Very little weed growth. I didn't catch anything. I moved to the point just west of this shallow area and began working it to the west. I casted shallow and deep. No fish. I moved to the area near the landing. I moved to the area by the bridge. I finally tried the area above the dam. No fish in any of these spots. I casted senkos, top water, spinner baits, and creatures. I fished 1' of water to 16' of water. Not even a bite. I'm confused. What is in this lake and where are they?

Ok snaggertooth:

The dnr has a fish survey, that will explain why it is difficult to fish. There are a zillion billion itsy perch in there. They decided it was not worth repairing the fishery. If you find the channel, fish on the side/weed line with bill's scented wormeys for LM bass. There are SM bass in the rocks, with crawfish stuff. The shallows for mid to small size suns when they are on the beds. They should be there now.
