Blackduck

Tepee-Tonka Resort Fishing Report

May 22, 2010

Sun and warm weather prevailed during the fishing opener, and the following week.

Walleyes were in abundance on the fishing opener, Blackduck Lake stills enjoys a walleye boom.

All guest on the opening weekend went home with their 6 limit of walleyes after also having several shore dinners. 
Several cabins that also usually fish Red Lake ( 1/2 hour away) stayed on Blackduck because the fishing was so good.

Note: There is still no slot limit on Blackduck Lake.

 

Fishing this weekend on Blackduck was good also, as it was this week, but a little slower with a good evening bite, 

many guest were also fishing Red Lake.

3 boats reported catching 100 walleyes Friday on Red, but could only catch 30 all day Saturday, with no real weather change except clouds Saturday.
