Our fly-in fishing reports page is to keep you up to date on how the fly-in fishing season is going at Moose Point Lodge Outpost on Brown Bear Lake. We'll include guest's fishing stories, as well as what type of lures are working for the fly-in fishing. With four fly-in outpost lakes full of great smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye and lake trout fishing there should be lots to tell.

Brown Bear lake is still quite warm and fishing has been good this time of year for late season walleyes, some monster pike but not many people have wandered over to fish for Lake Trout on Beauty Lake or into Robin Lake for Walleyes. Water levels have settled down and remained fairly consistent which helps for the walleye fishing especially. Bear hunters got a brute this season but will post about it on www.gopickerel.com/pages/recent-news.php .
Fishing July 29/2010
Brown Bear lake has been hot for the lunker walleyes this season. Also some really nice sized lake trout have come from Beauty lake a couple of weeks ago. Main lake has been good for smallmouth bass and some beauties have been caught and released for others to catch.

Fishing in early part of season was great for smallmouth bass. They spawned and were pretty beat up, but recovered quickly. Walleyes were hot and hot baits used were spinner baits with red on them or other baits included crank baits like the X rap and deeper diving crank baits like husky jerks about 4" maximum in length. Trout were in about 20 to 25 feet and they like the white flukes and round headed jigs. Northern pike were caught with just about anything. but especially spoons. May 29/2010
We had our first group of guests in to Brown Bear lake this past week. They had a great time and caught a very nice 38" lake trout, some 20" smallmouth bass and various sizes of walleyes. The bass were up very shallow and we figure that they are staging before the spawn.
The ice on the lakes did go out very early this year, April 8th, and so they have warmed up quite a bit. Brown Bear lake was pretty high with some of the rain we've had but has since gone back almost to normal levels.
I'll be posting pictures as soon as I can get them

Weather has been cool and wet to say the least. Trout fishing on Beauty lake has been awesome with some really nice sized fish caught and released. There have also been some big walleyes caught on Brown Bear lake along with excellent smallmouth bass catches. Couple of moose spotted on the main lake along with bear and deer.

The season has started out slowly with temperatures and weather not cooperating at all. Fishing for walleyes was fast action. Trout fishing is excellent. Pike were in the shallows and bass we also in shallow.

Eric Blevins and his group had a great time fishing for lake trout this summer on Beauty lake, one of the four portage lakes you can fish for everything from walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass and lake trout. Great scenery and wildlife are abundant.
