Default Isle lake report needed

Thinking about heading out there on Thursday to try for some burbs and whitefish. Has anyone had any luck out there this year? Can anyone recommend any decent places on the lake? Thanks!

I recommend that you don't bother for the whites on Isle.

They're supposed to be in there somewhere, but to say there're scarce is an understatement.

You might get some nice perch though, and pike can be pretty good there.

Thanks for all the tips. I have a couple places in mind. I am going to start out on the point by camp He-Ha-Ho and if I don't get any results there make my way to the Islands. If after that I am still skunked in Pike or perch I am heading to Wabuman, ha ha

Thanks a lot for the tip. I got a couple gumball jigs that are brightly colored. Where were you when you caught your Pike? I am guessing you were jigging minnows? I bought a humminbird 343c fish finder and it has a flasher mode so I am extremely anxious to give it a shot.

That's odd I was there quite a few times last March and had great luck. Love it when you catch 4 species of fish in one day!!!

Has anyone ever tried around the campground north of seba beach? I have never hit that lake but would like to one day very soon.
