The fishing season opened on May 15th and what a great season opener at Lake Wenasaga! Opening Saturday morning started off with a guest from Wisconsin catching and releasing a beautiful trophy size 29.5 inch walleye before 9 am. Then, by the end of the week, we were convinced this was one of the best openers ever.
Everyone reported great fishing. A couple of other trophy sized fish were caught and released (even a 25+ inch walleye caught by Dad today). Incredible stringers of nice eaters have been brought in daily. One group said they caught and released over 50 walleyes in one morning! Another group left Friday with the largest one week fish caught and released count they have ever had.
The free use of our several outlakes have also produced great results. A group was extremely satisfied with their lake trout catch. We’ll have the pictures up later on our website.
In terms of the weather, instead of the heavy winter coats and rain jackets that were necessary for the last 2 years, 2010’s opening day was a balmy 72 degrees F. All week the temperatures ranged from low 70’s to mid 80’s. We had a few showers but nothing to hamper the fishing. And no bugs to speak off! A nice breeze kept the lake from getting too calm and a late afternoon cloud cover and quick shower satisfied those who prefer the overcast weather for fishing.
All in all, it seems that 2010 is off to a great start and we look forward to seeing you here this summer.
