WHAT TO EXPECT FOR WEATHER

WHAT TO EXPECT

May: The early fisherman will enjoy a bug-free holiday with excellent Northern Pike fishing. Walleye are active in the post spawn on lakes that have large inlets. Temperature range: 32°-80°F.
June 1 - July: This is the recommended time to be prepared for the blackflies and mosquitoes with plenty of spray, coils, and headnets. The fishing is usually at its peak with large numbers of Walleye and Northern Pike caught. Temperature range: 40°F.
July 15 - August: The bugs have thinned down and fishing is concentrated in early morning and late evening hours. Providing temperatures don't go over 80°F during the day the fishing is surprisingly good and you do avoid most of the bugs. Temperatures range 45°-90°F days, 40°-50°F nights.
September: This is an excellent time to catch large Northern Pike as they move into shallower water. Walleye are generally active until the 20th of September with larger fish caught. The shallower lakes and river systems are more consistent for Walleye in September. A combined fishing and small game hunt after September 15th is an excellant vacation idea. Temperatures range 30°-70°F days, Avg 40°-60°F and 30°-40°F nights.
