Yellow Lake Update?

[Doonbuggy]

Hello, does anyone have an update on Yellow and/or the river?

I haven't been there in three years, but will be there for a couple days this weekend.

Open to any species.

Thanks you.

Only got to fish off the dock (west side of Little Yellow). Small northern, bass, but one big swipe by a muskie - right after I ripped a spinnerbait thru a weedbed.

Fished Yellow on Saturday with my 20 year old. We must have caught about 12-15 walleye, but none were over the 15" minimum. He even got one that was 14 3/4, but that's okay, it was fun!

He also hooked into a 25-30 lb muskie. He was using a small sucker minnow. We had it on for about 10-15 minutes and it made a couple of spectacular jumps. After the second jump it turned away from the boat and must have cut the line. A couple of muskie fishermen were close to us watching the action and were ready to come over to help us land it when we were ready. We had nothing with to land a fish that size. Would have liked to been able at least to measure it. Quite a thrill on 6lb test line!

For those looking for muskie, the muskie guys said they had been getting a few.
