Big Cedar Lake, Washington County (all postings)

It does look like a lamprey bite. Now that would be bad news.... I'm pretty sure we don't have any in the lake, but I guess you never can tell.

It kind of looks like a lamprey bite?

Got out this morning for a couple hours before the rain came in, not much to brag about. Three pike 21",24",and 32" All fish came on jig and crawler while drifting weed lines. One fish had a crazy looking scar/sore on its head, never seen anything like it before.

Walleye Extended Growth Fingerlings being fin clipped and stocked in Big Cedar Lake. Avid Fisherman and Conservationist, Lee Durow donated the funds to have Timber Court Fish Hatchery/Don Bloecher of Newburg, WI supply and stock the walleye.

Thanks for efforts of Lee Durow and Don Bloecher,

I was bowfishing late in the fall here last year and I chased a lake trout around the far south end bay for about 20 min. I wanted to make absolutely sure that it was a laker because I know they are fairly rare in this lake. It was about 26 inches long and healthy, but not overly large for this species.

If I was going to fish for them I would be out in deeper water with down riggers, 40-120 feet and trolling with 3-5" silver spoons like a Sutton Spoon, Mooseleuk Wobbler or Acme Flash King. These are proven fish catching lures across the northern states.

If you are inclined to jig, I would use a Swedish Pimple with minnow parts attached, or a lead head jig with a swimming tail body.

I wouldn't expect great laker action (if any) on this body of water, but who knows, right? You can apply these tips to any lake trout water with success (Big Green ;))

The last of the walleye fry were released Friday May 10, 2013

The fry were released in an area that has 60' of water depth and will remain in the upper 24" from the surface forging for plankton and then over time, move on to other food sources.

To answer a previous question regarding Lake Trout. The DNR has not stocked Lake Trout since the early 2000's The reason: not enough anglers targeting Lake Trout.

I will be stocking Extended Growth Walleye Fingerlings tomorrow, Thursday at 10:00 am. These Walleyes were donated by Lee Durow. If you know Lee Durow give him a big "Thank You"

Invasive Species Control, Carp and Sucker Harvest - Bow Fishing

These are the final stages of walleye hatching at the portable fish hatchery. When all walleye have hatched, then the fry will be released in the middle of the lake.

I like to thank the people who attended the water resource lecture at UWWC this past Monday. My lecture was focused on the efforts of Walleyes for Tomorrow Washington County and Big Cedar Lake Thursday Night Fishing Club.

Fished last night 5pm to 9pm mostly on the north end dragging suckers. I lost 2 fish again. I saw a carp boat start out right when I was done, hope he got some. I saw about 5 carp in shallow water(3-8fow) just east of the small island with one house on it, right before the narrows. One was pretty huge. Anyone getting any good sized pike? Or see any?They are not in the places I normally get them this time of year.

Thursday Night Fishing Club tournaments start this Thursday. Start time 6:00 at Gonring launch. Hope to see you there.

@fishing4eyes: guess that was you guys behind me last night fishing for crappies. I heard alot of catches and was happy I heard alot of releases. You guys were nailing them for sure, I was in the same spot just before you got there and released about 10 myself. The nets are out of BC???!!! I hope I am reading that correctly. That would be the best news for us fisherman going out at midnight Friday. Big thanks to the whole walleyes 4 2moro crew, great work out there. Brett: any news on the fingerling stocking? You had told me some otters found the fish ponds
