Still vacancies in best northern pike times

If you check out the Availability list at the right, you will see we still have three cabins available the first two weeks of next season. (Also a cabin the first and middle of June!)
These are among the very best, if not the absolute best, weeks for huge northern pike. In fact, our fishermen the first week of the season are virtually all keying on pike. They are experts at the dead bait fishing system which is particularly effective at this time. See Deadly Bait System for Pike and Use Circle Hook for Pike. However, you can also catch pike casting and trolling and this is one of the occasions when larger lures are worthwhile.
Many of our anglers start out the day using dead bait and circle hooks, then as the water warms with the sun, switch to trolling 6-8-inch Rapalas or similar lures or casting spinners and spoons around the pike's spawning beds and at entrances to bays.
The weeks in May are also the two best weeks for lake trout since this is when the water is the coldest and the trout are still at the surface. All of our trout must be live-released. We catch them primarily by trolling around the entrances to narrows and around islands and shoals in the deep water bays.
Walleye fishing has also been very good in May for many years now and is absolutely in high gear in June.
Our weather in May is often sunnier than June. We typically have sunny skies with daytime highs of 60-65 F.
