Calling Lake Age Classes amazing!!!!

[Drewski Canuck]

Had another great weekend at the cabin. In the AM jigs with leeches, and when we ran out, switched to minnows.

Late Afternoon / evening when the fish flies where hatching and swarming, had to get off the bottom with Canadian Wigglers on a fast troll. LOTS OF DOUBLE HEADERS!!!

Age Class is very impressive. Lots of small fish as small as 8"!!! hitting the jigs, and lots in the 30 - 45 cm, and lots in the slot, and of course lots of big ones.

The recruitment continues to be impressive, and with this year's high water, I expect that we will see a solid hatch from this year's spawn.

Seeing more pike this year as well, and all the fish are very, very healthy.

Water is high and the river is running hard, so water quality is still very good.

Good to hear!! Same at Pinehurst,many diff sizes and a lot of pike being harvested.I fished Calling a few yrs ago and the walleye were skinny with large heads and hardly any pike to be had.Did you land any perch?

Yup good to hear in a province where most lakes have a prominent age class resulting in 95% of the fish caught. Really sucks when you know exactly the size of the fish before it even grabs your hook.

Cool. That's some good news.

I've found that the walleye from Calling tastes a little off compared to other lakes. Could it be from algae or something else ?

Found this just now. Kind of confirms my thoughts. Especially the last paragraph.

Interesting.

Yeah, I also forgot it wasn't tags already.

south buck has been this way for over 20 years no numbers of walleye over 50 cm. the same as it was back in the 1980s . the only fish that were big were the perch and lake white fish , even the ling were small.

A 45-55cm slot would fix em up!

Should be 1 fish under 50 or tag system imo.

Where are the best trophy walleye lakes? How many walleye can you keep out of them?
