Anyone Fishing Fellows Lake?

[1sloRichline]

I am looking for any information on fishing and lures used for the Fellows Lake area. I am local, but am not having any luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank You.

What are you fishing for ?.. walleye , muskie , bass , catfish , crappie?.. if not crappie or catfish swing a lipless crankbait for a while and see where that gets you. A nice jigging motion helps . The water temp matters a lot though .

so help me help you by telling me what species and where.

Hi,

I'm thinking about going muskie fishing at Fellows Lake in early March.... Do you have any advice besides trolling??? We hate trolling. What are the lake conditions like? Is Fellows still flooded? Is it ice covered? Etc.

Thanks,

Don't know much about the muskie, but if you're going for Crappie, once we get some consistent nice weather, the northern shore of the north leg is full of underwater moss. The crappie congregate around that stuff like a party in the spring. Get a pair of polarized sunglasses and most of the time you can see where the patches of moss are. Toss a minnow on bobber around the edges of this stuff and you're sure to get bit. There's tons of moss thou so its hard to pinpoint exactly where they may be. If u dont get a bite in 5-10 min, move along till you find some active ones. Another good thing to do is get one of them little lake maps at the fellows lake marina. They have spots marked where there are some underwater brush piles. These are good spots too, i think at some pt or another I have caught crappie out of most of them. Good luck out there!

Do a large dying shad pattern right now if your shooting for muskie . Hit all the points on the south leg and the submerged foundation.. If you have electronics its a good idea to head to deeper water . Dont forget to pay attention to the lure all the way back to the boat and do figure 8's before you cast again. So many times I would be sitting there after 8 hours of fishing alone .. some what dazed , and BAM!!! huge splash 2ft from the boat that gets me wet from the tail thwack and then nothing... they have a knack for catching you right in the middle of lala land so dont let your guard down lol. good luck
