Fished for several hours on Friday, Saturday and sunday. We (2-4 guys in the boat) found the panfish to be setting up in the shallows. They were biting leeches, wax worms and portions of crawlers. Panfish have yet to spawn. Perch were biting as well, mostly on the crawlers and leeches. Caught one that measured 11.5 inches. Lastly, we found plenty of largemouth which were mostly active on leeches or half crawlers with a jig. Nothing of great size. We stayed shallow for most of the trip, fishing 2-8 foot of water in or near weeds. We were stationary, fishing with bobbers. No casting was done. Cool temperatures with frost warning overnight did not slow the fishing down. Stayed on the north end of the lake by the state campground. Crappies were supposedly biting on the southern end, but we did not venture down there. The state campground was almost full by Thursday. Launch was very busy, but only a  short wait to launch or pull out.

I will be going out this weekend. Any advice on where to fish and what to use? Thanks!

Caught 7 bass and 1 walleye on a crank bait in the weeds. landed 5 of them and released all of them. I only fished from 5:00 PM until 7:00PM  saw a few perch but no hits.  

Fish upper Gresham the week of july 11-18. Caught lots of bass in the 12"-14" range with an occasional larger one. Got one 32" musky on a Crane bait and had another nice fish follow on a bucktail. Lots of gills and crappies for the kids to catch.

thanks for the info i really appreciate it.

RUNDEMC,

You can get to Upper Gresham from Middle Gresham, however, it can be difficult based on the size of your boat. Approximately five years ago I was able to go from Upper to Middle in my 14 foot, 15 hp boat with the motor up and assistance from an oar once or twice. I don't know if the water level or channel dynamics have changed since then.

I'm not sure if you can get to Lower from Middle or not.

I have caught a musky and many largemouth bass while musky fishing on Upper Gresham. With a topo map you should be able to find many spots that peak your interest. I have a friend who's family has a place on Upper and they catch muskies every once in a while too.

My wife has rented a cabin on Middle Gresham in Oct. I wondering if anyone can give me any info on this lake. Can you get through with a boat to upper and low gresham? Is this a good muskie fishing lake or what species is usually targeted out here? Any info is much appreciated

just wondering who rents row boats on upper gresham lake?

has anyone been out there? How's the ice/slush? I'm more interested in the crappie bite, but if my wife comes, then hows the perch/gill bite

spent last week mon-sat camping and fishing. we caught allot of gills but most of them were small, did get a couple of 8 inchers and 1 that was 9 inches. i think that we get more largemouth bass than anything else. at times you could not get anything else. all small about 13 inches and smaller. first time on this lake so i do not know if this is the normal size here. nice campground we try it again.
