Stop in and find out how we can help you catch. Get a topo map. They say information is gold. It's also critical to catching fish on the ice. The maps have GPS coordinates on them so you just can't miss. We want you to be successful here at the Mile. Get a map we will MARK IT UP with the hot spots. WE ARE HERE FISHING EVERYDAY AND CAN PUT YOU ON THE FISH. Spinney Maps are officially unavailable and no longer in production. You can probably find them other places but we are out. Plenty of Eleven Mile in stock get yours with all the hot spots marked up today. Information is gold for catching

PIC #1: WOW some one knows how to catch Eleven Mile Kokanee

PIC #2: Taylor sports one heck of a nice salmon. He caught 8 on the East end. Some were only 10 feet down and others as deep as 45 feet. He used a Dodger with a secrete bait that looked a lot like a Kokanee Kustoms which we just got in. Tyler Elwell of Woodland Park is the maker of those baits and made a few exclusively for us. Come on in and check them out

PIC # 3: The action from shore is hot particularly at Sunrise and Sunset as the big spawning fish are doing their thing and that seems to be peaking right now. Boaters are finding action to be slower than they would like but the shore anglers are smiling. One boater reported good action on the Tasmanian Devil Black Betty size 13gram. As the water warms action will pick up for the boaters. Try Rapala’s and Tas on the troll, pitch tubes and jigs on the drift. Timing and depth are critical.

PIC # 4: Gothic Pink Squid one of six exclusive patterns from Kokanee Kustoms. Won’t find those at Scheels. Come check them out.

PIC # 5: Two really nice ones also caught from shore. The nice Brown was caught on a nightcrawler.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: Kastmasters and Rapala’s are showing off what they can do so far in this early season. Shore and boat have both produced when using them. Green Rainbow pop gear with night crawler on three foot leader shines in the Spring. Super slow troll, the slower the better. Fly action good close to shore using anything in black. Bait anglers liking the garlic flavored or salmon peach power baits. And night crawler and mallow always seems to catch a big one. Action found all around the lake.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR TO GOOD: Taylor knows what he is doing and tried many regular spots but only found schools on the East end off the channel from Deer Island to the buoy line. Some were suspended deep others were close to the surface. Use a Dodger and Macks or Kokanee Kustoms tipped with shoe peg corn or Gulp Alive Maggots. Stop in for latest updates

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO POOR: A few smaller fish here and there. Look to better action as the water warms. Pitch or troll big sticks and spoons. Windy conditions help as the water gets cloudy in the shallows and they don’t see quite as well but hit just a s good as anytime.
