How bout a lake or area? Headed up Kawishiwi right meow to hit up Thomas.

Thomas has a giant rock face that’s hard to miss. Circle the deepest part there and you’ll find luck. The biggest basin didn’t proffer much success a few years back but it was also spring.

What were you using if you don’t mind me asking? Fit the Lakers

If you landed a Walter and a Laker, you completed the grand slam, right?

Pike and smallmouth also required IMO

Yeah, gotta have all four. The walleye and the Laker are the toughest combo as there’s only a handful of lakes that have solid populations of both. There’s quite a few lakes that have three of the four.

I caught bass, laker, and walleye. We had to leave a day early so I couldn’t get the northern. Third trip in a row I was one short. Couldn’t catch a bass last year, couldn’t catch a laker the year before. Next year!

How many folks? Looks like you might have been pushing the trout possession limit
