Only Ice....I know Cliff Lake fairly well. IT can be a very challenging lake to fish for the area. Here's what I can tell you....

Walleye fishing is very tough. We barely caught any while targeting them on purpose, a few incidental catches. There is some descent bass action nears rocks and bullrush. They don't advertise Pike but there actually are some good sized fish in there, Big Silver minnowbaits on the windblown deeper shorelines. Musky fishing can be difficult but has its moments. Fish the outsides of the bullrush. A Mepps#5 Gold Bladed brown fur Agglia is a lure I would not leave without.

When you are on Cliff you have access to 3 other lakes via a creek Channel. Mystery, Evening, Twilight.....Mystery is a waste of time, Evening has good Pike, Walleye And musky. To this day me and a buddy set an all time record for amount of Muskies boated in one day, this was done on Twilight. SMaller sized bucktails and topwater are the ticket. These lakes can be difficult to access because of the creek system/beaver (Contact Us Please) you have to go through but are well worth it and you will find much easier fishing then on Cliff

Hope that helps

Brian

Quick question to make sure we are talking about the same cliff lake.. You do mean the Cliff lake that is about 20 minutes North of Vermillion Bay on the Road to Red lake, is that correct? If so, I can help you out with some info as well...

We've fished it a couple times, Lake trout can be good on Cliff, although not many big fish (over 10 pounds.) Bring downriggers or jig for them....

Skip the walleyes. waste of time....

Musky guys say it can be good...

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
