Nelson Lake (Totagatic Flow)

I’ve never caught or heard of any in there.    It doesn’t mean they’re not though.

Any tips for the smallmouth on the lake. Very cool and interesting lake

Fished Nelson this weekend with my brother -in- law.  Slow overall, but did catch some crappies, mostly small, in a deeper basin on a gold jig and plastics. Did keep enough 9-10 inch fish for a couple of meals. 

Quick fishing report.  Fished on Friday and Saturday on the Northwest section of the lake.  Fishing was horrible!  We had 5 flags and no fish.  We did jig in the late afternoon each day but got skunked.  Marked fish but nothing was happening.

I fish this lake with my father-in-law every September and do pretty well.  This was my first time ice fishing it and we never go to that side of the lake.  This was more of a relaxing trip with the family with fishing as a bonus.

Ice is a solid 13 inches or so where we were at with almost a foot of snow on top.
