Lake Puckaway, Green Lake County (all postings)

My weigh in - The emergent vegetation is very important but I don't by the lower water levels help the weeds.

With really low water the waves roll on the bottom and churn up the sediment. You have water level data from the kid doing the mesurements for the district and there seems to be a correlation.

Also the agressive Carp removal should also have a signficant impact on helping the weeds. Hope they keep that up.

Don't know the district members but the President is a Class Act guy and has a good head on his shoulders.

Wow a 36" on the river. Nice Haul

Will be up Friday a.m. and I plan on hitting it hard this weekend.

Caught a boatload of northern today on the lake,But my biggest of the day 36" came in the river.Lots of action,lots of fun.Friday night I will be dining on northern.

Yes, you absolutely can troll and it is a very good technique on the lake.

I think the emergent vegetation is important to the total ecosystem of the lake, not just a few property owners. Plus I highly doubt 8 more inches of water would have done anything to help the immense heat and lack of rain last year that killed the fish.

hey there all! coming up this weekend and thinking about giving this lake a shot. want to take my son and ive heard about good pike action. wondering if there is a place to start better than others on this lake? i noticed its all very shallow and im not used to that. is it very weedy? can you troll? thanks in advance dont want anyone secret spots just a point in the right direction

AGREED Chena. Does a lot off good come mid July when you can't get your boat off the lift.

I have a belief that the recommendation for low water levels may have more to do with a couple lake assoc members than anything else. One owns an island and the other owns cattail marsh. Neither are avid fishermen but low water is better for their hunting spots. Just an opinion.

Yeah the boards are I believe 3 nomial 2x6's and it raises the lake 10-12" which makes a huge difference on this water.

Last year they dicked around and didn't get the boards on in time and we had no rain and if you recall 1000's of Northerns died over 4th July weekend.

so these boards are put in to keep summer water levels up? So hows mid summer fishing? headed up in mid July, looking for Crappies, gills, catfish and walleyes. any tips or suggestions would be helpful.looking forward to a week of good fishing.

Yeah water level is perfect right now. Will drop fast unless they get the boards in.

But apparently that is the best for the lake according to the DNR

The action remains strong with consistency in many different techniques. Casting, jigging, and trolling have been very productive lately. The water level is holding descent do to the steady rain fall but with no boards in and no rainfall kiss the water and good fishing good by fast. So get out and enjoy the good fishing and nice water levels while it last.

Thanks for the water level report.

thanks guys it was a very exciting experience to win a tournament Like that and to win it as big as we did with all the records we set is Like a dream come true. For a current fishing report I got back to puck today with some great southern people who have never caught walleye and pike before and we had a great day we caught fish all day and at least 20 were walleyes. It looked like there was lots of perch fry in the shallows all over the lake.

Considering the amount of rain that fell in the Portage area last night, the river and the lake should be on the rise in a day or two. There were reports of 3-4in of rainfall. I had 2.5 to 3

I believe at the June meeting they said that the dam boards were to go in around the 26th of June as this is an EPS year
