We’ll give you all of our expert knowledge in detail upon your arrival. But for now, here’s a snapshot:

​

• When mayflies hatch, whitefish move out of the rivers and stay just below the surface to feed on mayflies (typically first two weeks of July)

• Mayfly hatch is a great time for fly fisherman!

• When fly fishing: whitefish like to see a mayfly stationary with circular movement. Leave your fly stationary and spin your rod a few times with your finger-tips. The heavy fly line will spin with the rod and, if your lead line is not too long, it will spin too and make the fly flop around.

• In early summer, catch whitefish on the surface with small spinners, 1/16 oz jigs, tiny Rapalas or put a mayfly or waxworm on a hook with a small float and cast off the dock

• After the mayfly hatch, whitefish go deep (50-60 feet); troll or jig for deep whitefish

• Summer technique #1: jig deep water with a tiny jig and a piece of waxworm or dew worms

• Summer technique #2: use a three-way swivel system with a Zero Mepps or Blue Fox and troll very slow in about 60 feet of water. You’ll likely catch some nice lake trout in the process!
