Leech Lake Opener - May 9,2009

By 10 am, when this photo was taken from our deck, many fisherman and woman had caught dozens of walleye. A grey day with one real sprinkle, chilly out on the lake, although the catching made for having a great time. The weather cleared by 5 pm and we are hoping for good weather tomorrow.
We have about 30 guests in right now, most of them fishing in about 16 feet of water off of Pine Point , a hot spring fishing spot. Other places producing fish are around Goose Island and the Hardwoods of Leech Lake. Using a shiner and jig or lindy rig drifting and trolling. Pretty calm winds tucked in behind Pine Point on west side of Trader’s Bay.
Steve, my husband and the dock boys pictured here, clean all of our guests fish and package them for travel if you prefer. Leave the fish cleaning to us, Steve is a licensed fish packer and is proud of his no bone walleye filets and Y boned northern pike.
Guests today said each boat was keeping about 50% of what they caught. Many boats catching 25 or more walleye. Jumbo perch and northerns were seen in the live well today along with the many walleye.
We have openings this coming week. Our rate is $40 a person per night with a minimum of four guests. Our covered protected harbor fee is $25 a day. We (I should say Steve) will launch your boat, store your trailer, clean the fish, gas the boat and trailer it out for you before you depart. Can’t beat that with a stick.
Okay, it is getting late (for me) and I am getting punchy, time to sign off and I will post more photos tomorrow.
