merc Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 A friend of mine has a seasonal trailer on a lake that has tullibees in it and was wondering if anyone has ever fished for them in summer. And if so what to use. I never really thought about it so I was wondering if anyone would have thoughts on this. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie22 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 never targeted them myself, have caught a few, not much help here from me. Someone here has some info for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Wagenbach Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have on occation targeted tulibees in the summer during a mayfly hatch using my flyrod. Great sport! They will hit almost any fly that resembles a mayfly during a hatch. You will also get many other species of fish that are feeding on the mayflies.A casting type bubble bobber with a fly 3 feet below the bobber also works well when using a spinning rod.Small white or yellow poppers also work well on both types of rigs.Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morelnmusky Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I was gonna ask the same question. I was out on the ice on Star lake over 90 feet of water on Sunday morning and they were down at 60 ft but wouldn't bite. I'm sure that that was my last trip on the ice so now what. How deep should they be right when the ice is out? What tips and tricks can you offer? Great question Merc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually suspended all year round!Try vertical jigging with small Sweedish Pimple or similar spoons baited with a wax worm. A flasher is pretty critical because almost all of the tulibees that I have targeted will come up to the bait and either hit it or back off. The real strike trigger is to "slowly" lift the bait and make them chase it! That will get them to hit almost every time!Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice chaser Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I ran into some this winter and they seem to hit everything. They were suspended and it was tough to get a jig past them to get to the perch. They are fun to catch, wish I had a smoker heard they were good smoked.
